Description
Live-in care in Wednesbury means living with a client in their home to support daily routines and personal care around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for weeks or months, building trusted, one-to-one relationships. Right now, 102 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of role suits experienced, practical carers who want more control than agency shifts usually offer. If you want to choose who you work with, when you work and where you cover, live-in roles give you that autonomy while remaining hands-on. Wednesbury is at the heart of the West Midlands and there are regular opportunities for steady, meaningful work here and in nearby towns.
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Live-in roles commonly fall within £145–£160 per day and many carers include £145–£160 per day day rates when they quote for placements. PrimeCarers finds family clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Who we’re looking for

We support carers who want to leave agency life but keep professional support. PrimeCarers manages the contracting side, collects payments from families and pays you for the agreed work, with insurance included for the period you’re placed. You remain in control: negotiate your day rate, working pattern and which areas you’ll cover — from Wednesbury to Moxley, Darlaston, Ridgacre, Bilston, Tipton and Willenhall.

After you’ve applied and we’ve verified your documents and references, profiles typically go live within days and families can contact you directly.
