Live-in work suits experienced, adaptable carers who enjoy continuity of care and building strong, trusting relationships with families.
Right now, 130 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose the clients you want to work with and pick your hours and service area. Typical pay varies by assignment — see £145–£160 per day — with more detailed ranges often shown as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for day rates on live-in placements. You decide which offers fit your needs and availability.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities around Rubery and nearby towns such as New Frankley, Rednal, Gannow Green, Longbridge, Turves Green and Frankley. We’re looking for carers who want more control than they get from agencies, whether you already live locally or are prepared to travel for a meaningful placement.
Minimum requirements to join PrimeCarers:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on providing excellent care without carrying the admin burden. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
If you’re used to agency rules and want to keep the hands-on care but gain flexibility, live-in placements around Rubery offer long stretches of continuity, clearer handovers and the chance to make a real difference to someone’s day-to-day life. We welcome carers moving into Worcestershire from elsewhere as well as those already local.
To apply, create a profile, upload your documents and add your references. The platform guides you through each step and our team can answer questions about live-in expectations, travel and the paperwork you’ll need. If you’d prefer a chat first, we can arrange that too — applying won’t take long and could open the door to consistent live-in work in and around Rubery.
