Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Thimble End

Live-in care in Thimble End means you’ll live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for the length of the arrangement, bringing continuity and companionship to families here in Thimble End and nearby communities.

Right now, 121 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This platform is for experienced, professional carers who want to work as self-employed clinicians rather than through an agency. You set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for roles you’ll find here are £148–£163.50 per day. If you’re already delivering high-quality, person-centred care and want more control over your working life in Thimble End and the wider West Midlands, this could suit you.

PrimeCarers finds appropriate clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work on placements arranged through the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification — so you can start considering local live-in options quickly.

Live-in work is about much more than personal care: it’s helping someone maintain routines, mealtimes, medication prompts, mobility support and companionship day and night, with agreed periods off. You remain self-employed and organise agreed breaks with the family. Carers travel to and from Thimble End from other towns, and many placements are close to Walmley Ash, Walmley, Reddicap Heath, Falcon Lodge, Wylde Green and Pype Hayes.

To join you will need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

Pay is agreed between you and the family; typical hourly and live-in day ranges you’ll see on the platform are £18.80–£20 per hour and £148–£163.50 per day respectively. Because you’re self-employed, you invoice through PrimeCarers and we handle payments. Remember to allow for your own tax and National Insurance responsibilities when setting rates.

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from the rota-driven agency model, creating a profile takes only minutes. Once verified, families in Thimble End and across the West Midlands can view your profile and invite you to discuss placements. Build the working life you want while delivering consistent, compassionate live-in care to local people.
