Description
Live-in care in New Oscott means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so you could be based elsewhere but work in New Oscott and nearby areas if you prefer to relocate for a placement.
Right now, 118 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This type of role suits experienced carers who want continuity of care and a closer working relationship with clients. You’ll support personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household routines, and you’ll be involved in the rhythms of a household rather than dropping in for shifts. Live-in care is ideal if you want dependable days of work, stronger bonds with the people you support, and fewer, longer assignments compared with standard visiting shifts.
On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and you retain control over the work you accept. Typical pay varies by experience and client needs — £148–£162.50 per day — with common hourly expectations shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day figures shown as £148–£162.50 per day. You’ll negotiate with families directly when you accept a placement.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working on a placement we include insurance cover, and we can help with an Enhanced DBS if you need one. That practical support is designed to let you focus on care rather than paperwork.
To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many carers switching from agencies tell us they value keeping their independence while having PrimeCarers deal with contracts and payments.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and upload (or request) an Enhanced DBS. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which families can view your details and invite you to discuss placements — whether in New Oscott, nearby Kingstanding, Boldmere, Driffold, Old Oscott, Maney and Perry Common or elsewhere in the West Midlands.
If you want long days, meaningful relationships and the freedom to set your own terms, live-in care through PrimeCarers could be a good fit. Sign up now to create your profile and start seeing suitable live-in opportunities in and around New Oscott.
