Description
Live-in care in Ardwick Green means living alongside someone you support, helping with day-to-day routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring experience and calm to a client's home in Ardwick Green and surrounding areas, including Ardwick, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester city centre, New Islington, Northern Quarter and Ancoats.
Right now, 60 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This style of work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. You decide which households to accept, how long to stay, and you set your own rates as a self-employed professional. Live-in roles can be flexible: some carers prefer long stays in Ardwick Green, others rotate between placements across Manchester and beyond.
Pay and practical details are clear from the start. Typical rates for these roles are £145–£160 per day; many carers choose an hourly approach for waking and personal care (£18.50–£20 per hour) or a daily live-in day rate for overnight coverage (£145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers supports the admin so you focus on care — we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work.
Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced professionals:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references from recent roles
