Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Oldbury

Live-in care in Oldbury means living alongside a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks so the person you’re with can stay independent for longer. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring continuity, experience and calm to a household.

Right now, 121 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want control over their working life. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and the area you’ll accept work in. You set your own rates and can expect typical pay of £145–£160 per day depending on location and duties. If you’re thinking of leaving agency rosters or want more predictable, longer placements, live-in roles around Oldbury can offer that blend of responsibility and flexibility.

PrimeCarers helps with the paperwork and the practical bits so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, draw up contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working with a client. That administrative support removes a lot of the friction of being self-employed while keeping your independence intact.

To join, you’ll need:

• At least one year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references from recent employers or clients

Live-in placements involve being on site for agreed periods; carers receive planned breaks and time off as set out in the placement agreement. Typical pay can vary by the length and intensity of care; you can review the usual ranges for day and hourly work as you build your profile: £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly support and £145–£160 per day as a typical live-in day range. You remain in control — you choose which clients to accept and can refuse placements that don’t fit your needs.

Applying takes minutes and we verify your details quickly.
