Description
Live-in care in Tyseley puts you at the heart of someone’s home life: you’ll live with a client and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements, bringing continuity and hands-on support to households across Tyseley and nearby neighbourhoods. Right now, 106 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits within £145.50–£161 per day and can be arranged either as hourly care (£18.80–£20 per hour) or live-in day rates (£145.50–£161 per day) depending on the arrangement you agree with a family.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who want autonomy and clearer boundaries than agency rota work. You’ll be supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household routines, and sometimes more complex needs depending on the placement. Live-in shifts require emotional resilience, good time‑management and a respectful approach to a client’s home life — carers travel from other parts of the UK for roles in Tyseley when families want continuity of support.
To join PrimeCarers we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on delivering care rather than paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
We work across Tyseley and surrounding areas including Sparkhill, Hay Mills, Fox Hollies, Showell Green, Sarehole and Sparkbrook so you can consider placements close to home or further afield. PrimeCarers supports self‑employed carers with clear booking terms and a straightforward platform to communicate with families and manage availability.
If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints but still want a trusted platform behind you, this could be the next step. Create your profile, upload references and DBS details, and you’ll be visible to families seeking live-in care in the Tyseley area of the West Midlands. Profiles usually go live in days and you remain in control of which enquiries you accept.
