Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Short Heath

Are you a practiced carer looking to move away from agency rota culture and into live-in roles around Short Heath? Live-in care lets you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks; carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. You set your own rates and choose who you work with — typical pay is £146–£161 per day. Right now, 112 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the work involves: you’ll provide companionship, personal care, medication prompting and day-to-day support that keeps someone safe and comfortable in their own home. Live-in shifts are about continuity: getting to know one person’s preferences, routines and home environment. Tasks often include light household help, meal preparation, mobility support and supporting appointments when needed.

Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who prefer deeper relationships and predictable, longer placements. It suits people ready to live with a client for agreed periods and to work flexibly overnight with scheduled rest breaks. Many carers travelling into Short Heath from around the West Midlands and beyond choose live-in roles because they value continuity and the chance to work independently.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You can expect typical hourly roles to be in the range £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day rates commonly listed as £146–£161 per day. Again, you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already work locally around Short Heath or in nearby areas like Willenhall, Bloxwich, Wednesfield, Darlaston, Walsall and Coal Pool, your local knowledge is a real advantage.

How to apply: creating your profile takes minutes and you control what information goes on it. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can begin matching with families who need live-in support. PrimeCarers supports contract setup and payment processing so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
