Live-in Carer Jobs in Bolton

Live-in care means living with someone in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer, choose the clients you want and plan your own hours and service area in Bolton and beyond. You can travel from elsewhere in the UK for placements if that suits you, or choose local live-in work close to family and friends in the area. Right now, 45 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in shifts vary. You’ll help with personal care, medication routines, meals, mobility, companionship and maintaining a safe environment. Many experienced carers move into live-in roles because they offer continuity of support and the chance to build a trusting relationship with one or two people, rather than short rota shifts. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and often stay for several weeks or months at a time.

This is a good fit if you have at least one year of professional care experience, reliable references and the right to work in the UK. You’ll also need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange this. You must be comfortable living with someone and supporting their daily life. We don’t advertise a single shift here — we list ongoing self-employed opportunities across Bolton, Manchester and nearby towns such as Farnworth, Kearsley, Walkden, Lee Bank, Radcliffe and Tottington.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay for this kind of work is £145–£160 per day; for reference, hourly care tends to be in the range £18.50–£20 per hour and typical live-in day rates are £145–£160 per day. How much you earn depends on the hours agreed, duties, travel and the rate you set. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working through the platform.

If you’re thinking of leaving agency life, PrimeCarers gives more control over who you work with and how you work. You pick clients that fit your skills and lifestyle, agree breaks and routines directly with the client, and manage your diary. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. When you’re ready, create a profile, upload references and DBS details (or ask us for help arranging one), and start seeing suitable matches in Bolton and nearby towns.

To apply, sign up on PrimeCarers, complete the short profile and submit your documents. Our team will verify your details and you’ll be able to browse and accept live-in opportunities that suit you. If you want a straightforward, more independent way to provide great care in Bolton and the Manchester area, PrimeCarers could be the change you’re looking for.
