Description

Live-in care in Bollington means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many placements involve companionship, personal care, medication prompts and household tasks tailored to the person’s needs. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring the continuity and experience families value. Right now, 98 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. As a carer on PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and agree terms directly with the family. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with further detail available in your profile and when negotiating individual placements. Live-in work often suits people who enjoy building lasting relationships and who are comfortable being in someone’s home for several days at a time.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and manages the administrative side — contracts, invoicing and payments are handled for you, and insurance is included while you work. You remain in control of which jobs you accept and how you organise breaks during a live-in placement. Carers often combine shorter driving distances from nearby towns such as Macclesfield, Poynton with Worth, Shallcross, Whaley Bridge, Wilmslow and New Mills with longer trips from farther afield when a match fits their preferences.

To join you’ll need 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. We don’t shortlist by qualification title alone — we value practical experience, reliability and good communication. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and setting up takes only minutes.

How to apply: create a profile, add your experience and references, and tell us the kind of live-in placements you prefer. Once verified, families searching in Bollington and the wider Cheshire area can find your profile and get in touch. You negotiate the hours and daily routine with each family and PrimeCarers supports the contract and payment process so you can focus on care.

If you’re ready to move away from rota-driven agency shifts and want the autonomy to choose live-in work around your life, PrimeCarers is geared for experienced carers who value independence and clear admin support. Apply now — the sign-up only takes a few minutes and could open new long-stay opportunities in Bollington and nearby towns.
