Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Shifnal

Looking for long-term, live-in care work around Shifnal that fits your skills and life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Shifnal and across Shropshire for live-in placements where you live with the client, support daily routines and provide companionship and personal care with agreed breaks. Right now, 117 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who prefer continuity and deeper relationships over shift work. You’ll help with mornings and evenings, personal care, meal support, medication prompts, light domestic tasks and companionship – being the main point of contact for a household while taking agreed rest breaks away from duty. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements and stay for weeks or months at a time.

Pay and flexibility are different to agency work: on PrimeCarers you are self-employed, set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover. Typical rates for these roles are £145–£160 per day, with typical hourly roles shown as £18.50–£20 per hour and live-in day rates shown as £145–£160 per day. You decide which offers suit you and when you’re available.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, prepare contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means clearer agreements, on-time pay and fewer phone calls about paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’ve worked with older adults, people with dementia or long-term health needs, your experience will translate well to these placements. You’ll need to be comfortable living in someone else’s home and working unsupervised at times.

Many carers on PrimeCarers come from nearby towns such as Telford, Madeley, Dawley, Oakengates, Broseley and Much Wenlock, or travel further afield for the right live-in match. If you’re thinking about leaving agency routines for more control over your working life, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to do that without taking on all the back-office burden yourself.
