Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with ongoing live‑in roles in Ashton St. Michael's and the surrounding area. Live‑in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements, and PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work.

Right now, 62 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you’re thinking about moving away from agency rota work, live‑in roles through PrimeCarers give you more control. You set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover — typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on care needs and location. Day and hourly ranges vary by placement: expect to see listings in the £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day bands for many live‑in assignments.

What the work involves: daily personal care, meal support, medication prompts, companionship, light household tasks and supporting routines through the day and night. Live‑in care requires reliability, patience and the ability to sleep in where appropriate while taking agreed breaks; you’ll negotiate working patterns with each family before you accept a placement. These roles are ideal for carers who prefer continuity of care and building strong relationships over time.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers are straightforward: 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. Because carers on the platform are self‑employed, you’ll manage your own tax and National Insurance, but PrimeCarers takes care of client searches, contracts, invoicing and secure payments so you can focus on care.

We often have opportunities around Ashton St. Michael's and nearby towns including Ashton under Lyne, Dukinfield, Ashton Hurst, Ashton Waterloo, Stalybridge and Stalybridge North, and across Manchester. Applying takes minutes — create a profile online, upload your documents and references, then wait for verification; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and choose placements that fit your needs and lifestyle.
