Description
Live-in care in Yardley suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency routines and be paid for the full responsibility of living with a client. You’ll support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, helping with personal care, medication prompts, companionship and household support when needed. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and find the continuity of living with one household deeply rewarding.
Right now, 120 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers puts you in control. Our carers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay among our carers is around £145–£160 per day. We also publish typical ranges for hourly and live-in day roles so you can decide what suits you before applying.
What a live-in role involves in Yardley and the West Midlands:
- Shared daily life: living in the client’s home, supporting routines, mealtimes, mobility and social contact.
- Overnight presence: being available through the night with agreed sleep or wake-up patterns and scheduled breaks.
- Travel: many carers travel to Yardley placements from other parts of the UK; travel arrangements are agreed up front.
Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who have at least one year of professional care experience and who want predictable, longer-term placements. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification so profiles typically go live within days.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed and keep control of which clients you accept and the hours you offer. Applying takes minutes; building a profile is quick and clear.
We work across Yardley and nearby areas including Stechford, Little Bromwich, Gilbertstone, Kents Moat, South Yardley and Hay Mills. Many carers coming to Yardley appreciate the mix of local community life and good transport links into Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
