Description
Work as a self-employed live-in carer in Perry Common and the surrounding area, helping someone stay independent at home while living with them and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Live-in placements attract carers who travel from across the country for stays in Perry Common and nearby communities. Right now, 99 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single post or role. You choose clients, hours and the service area you cover — whether you want to work locally in Perry Common or travel from elsewhere in the West Midlands or beyond. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and benefit from clear administration and payment support. Typical earnings for care work vary; you can review the typical ranges here: £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly guides shown below.
What live-in care looks like: you’ll live in the client’s home and help with daily routines such as supporting personal care, prompting medication, preparing meals, companionship and light household tasks. Live-in care involves being available through the day and night with agreed rest breaks; many carers alternate sleep-in time with active support. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay for weeks or months at a time. Typical hourly-care and live-in guidance: £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for a live-in day.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control than agency rosters allow. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency work to run your own self-employed care practice, PrimeCarers gives you the platform to pick clients who match your skills and preferences.
What PrimeCarers handles for you: we find clients and manage contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and insurance is included while you work through the platform. You remain self-employed, set your rates, and accept or decline any booking. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
