Live-in Carer Jobs in Telford

Looking for live-in carer work in Telford and Telford and Wrekin? Live-in care means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines, companionship and personal care, with agreed breaks and time off. Roles attract carers who travel from across the country for placements and who want reliable, ongoing work while keeping control as self-employed professionals. Right now, 115 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in shifts involve supporting morning and evening routines, preparing meals, helping with mobility, medication prompts and being available overnight for reassurance and any needs that arise. You’ll agree a pattern of rest and active care with each client so your working day is clear. Typical pay for carers on PrimeCarers is £145–£160 per day. For reference, the platform also shows typical hourly and live-in day ranges: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota constraints and set their own terms. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area — whether you want placements in central Telford or nearby towns like Oakengates, Dawley, Madeley, Shifnal, Broseley and Much Wenlock. Many carers value the continuity that live-in roles give: deeper relationships, clearer routines and fewer shift handovers across Telford and the surrounding area.

To join you’ll need at least 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. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates and availability. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. When a family wants to discuss a live-in placement they contact you directly through the platform, so you can decide whether the match fits your preferences and terms. If you’re already thinking about moving from agency work in Telford, this is a practical way to keep doing great care on your terms.
