Live-in Carer Jobs in Small Heath

Live-in care roles in Small Heath suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota work and work directly for families. Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring continuity, practical skills and compassion to households in Small Heath and nearby communities. Right now, 112 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 your clients, hours and service area and agree terms that suit you. Typical rates for these roles are £145–£160 per day and you can pick assignments that fit the kind of care you prefer. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

This type of work suits carers who enjoy building long-term relationships, who can be calm and organised overnight, and who are comfortable managing medication prompts, personal care, mealtimes and mobility support. Live-in shifts include agreed breaks and private time, and duties vary by client — you will always agree duties before you accept a placement.

Requirements to join

• Minimum one year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with simple contracts, prompt invoicing and secure payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included for the time you work with a client. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you live in or around Small Heath — including Bordesley Green, Alum Rock, Bordesley, Sparkbrook, Deritend and Hay Mills — and want to choose the clients and hours you work, live-in roles can offer continuity, stronger relationships and a clearer work pattern than shift-based agency work. If you have questions about travel, breaks or setting your day rate we’ll talk these through before you accept any placement.
