Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Blackley

Live-in care in Blackley suits experienced carers who want more control over the work they do. These roles mean living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring skills gained in agency, homecare or residential settings.

Right now, 51 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

In a live-in role you become part of someone’s household in Blackley and help keep everyday life running smoothly. You can expect to help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtime support, light household tasks and meaningful company. Shifts run over whole days with agreed respite periods so you can rest; you’ll work to a plan that suits the client and you. Blackley sits close to areas such as Middleton, Crumpsall, Harpurhey, Moston, New Moston and Cheetham, and carers often cover short distances across Manchester and beyond.

PrimeCarers is built for people who prefer to work for themselves. Carers on the platform are self-employed and set their own rates; many live-in roles fall within £145–£160 per day. Typical hourly-care ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour and live-in day rates typically sit in £145–£160 per day. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you want and the area you’ll cover.

We take care of the admin so you can focus on care. PrimeCarers finds clients, draws up contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement. If you need an Enhanced DBS check, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask to see your DBS when applicable and confirm references as part of verification.

Applying takes minutes: set up a profile, add your experience and references, and choose the areas you want to work in. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review and accept live-in opportunities that fit your life. If you’ve been thinking about leaving agency life for more flexibility and direct relationships with families, PrimeCarers is designed to help make that move manageable while keeping protections and admin straightforward.
