Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Ashton under Lyne

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with live-in care opportunities in Ashton under Lyne and the surrounding area. Live-in roles mean you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring the skills and stability families need.
Right now, 46 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care suits people who want continuity of care and a closer working relationship with one or two households. Tasks typically include personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation, companionship, supporting mobility and household tasks that keep a client safe and comfortable. You’ll work to an agreed plan and take scheduled breaks during your placement.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want more control than agency work often allows. All carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. We list typical pay expectations so you can compare, with common ranges shown as £145–£160 per day. We also support live-in day rates and hourly care ranges where relevant.

We take care of the practical admin so you can focus on care. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You keep autonomy over your working pattern and your rate, and PrimeCarers helps make the paperwork straightforward.

Requirements to join are clear: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We ask for honest, recent evidence of your experience and references from recent employers or clients.

Many carers leaving agency rotas tell us they value the stability of live-in work and the ability to arrange meaningful, person-centred support.
