Live-in Carer Jobs in Tamworth

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Tamworth for live-in work. Live-in carers live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, taking agreed breaks so you get rest and time off. You choose who you work with, the hours you offer and the area you cover. Many carers travel from across the country to take live-in placements near Tamworth and other Staffordshire communities.

Right now, 123 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who want continuity of care and a closer relationship with the person they support. Work typically includes personal care, companionship, medication prompting, light household tasks and supporting routines such as meals and morning/evening care. Because placements are long-term, you get the chance to build trust and shape a care plan with the family.

Pay is set by you — PrimeCarers lists typical ranges so families know what to expect. Typical pay for these roles is £145–£160 per day, with detailed ranges shown as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for day rates on live-in shifts. As a self-employed carer on our platform you keep control of your rates and your diary.

PrimeCarers does the admin you don’t want to worry about: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means more time caring and less time chasing paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be visible to local families very quickly.

This is right for you if you have at least one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We welcome carers who are ready to move from agency rota work into self-employed live-in roles, whether you already live locally or you’re willing to travel into Tamworth, Perry Crofts, Fazeley, Roughley, Whitehouse Common, Falcon Lodge and Mere Green or beyond.

How to apply: create your profile, add your experience and references, upload your Enhanced DBS (or ask us to help arrange it) and set your service area and rates. Profiles are reviewed quickly and once verified families can contact you directly through the platform. If you want a more flexible, direct way to work as a live-in carer in Tamworth and wider Staffordshire, PrimeCarers puts you in control.
