Home testing for unpaid carers

Specific disabilities and conditions

Hi everyone, I am a full time carer for my husband who has MS. I have read that live in carers can access a weekly Covid test to check if they are virus free. This would be a massive relief for me as even though I try to be as careful as I can I am still helping out with childcare for my Grandaughter as her parents both work full time, , also shopping etc. Does anyone know if this is just paid live in carers this applies to or unpaid carers.

Thanks
