Description

Live-in care in Northfield means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. These roles suit carers who can provide companionship, personal care and household support for people who prefer to stay at home. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring experienced, steady support to families across Northfield and the wider West Midlands.

Right now, 97 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This platform is for experienced, self-employed carers who want more control than agency work allows. You set your own rates, pick the clients you’ll work with and control your hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160.50 per day but you choose the exact rate that reflects your skills and experience. PrimeCarers finds suitable clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Live-in placements involve shared routines: helping with morning and evening care, medication prompts, meal support, mobility assistance and companionship. Breaks are agreed in advance, and responsibilities are discussed with the family before you commit. Many carers enjoy the deeper relationships that live-in work in Northfield offers, especially in households close to West Heath, Shenley Fields and other neighbouring communities like West Heath, Turves Green, Shenley Fields, Weoley Castle, Shenley Green and Walkers Heath.

  • Who we’re looking for — at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references, and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
  • How it suits you — ideal if you want reliable, longer-term placements, the chance to live locally with a client, or to travel for a placement away from your usual area.
  • What we handle — client introductions, contracts, invoices and payments, plus insurance while you’re on placement so your self-employed status is supported.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload IDs and references and tell us about your experience. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain in control at every step — choose the roles that suit you, negotiate timings and agree breaks before you go into a placement in Northfield.
