Live-in Carer Jobs in Burnage

Live-in care in Burnage means making a real difference to someone’s day-to-day life by living in their home and supporting routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll be the consistent, familiar presence a family needs — helping with personal care, meals, medication reminders, companionship and household routines while respecting a person’s home and dignity.
Right now, 64 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced carers who want the stability of longer placements and the freedom of self-employed working. Many carers on PrimeCarers travel from across the country for live-in roles and stay for weeks or months, getting to know clients and settling into a helpful routine. Live-in placements in Burnage and nearby areas such as Highfield Country Park, Levenshulme, Ladybarn, Longsight, Fallowfield and Belle Vue mean you’ll be part of local lives and communities while still choosing which bookings suit you.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical pay fits within £145–£160 per day depending on the care required and your experience. For reference, many carers think in terms of hourly and day rates: £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance for the time you’re working.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We don’t list a specific placement here — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Burnage and greater Manchester so you can pick what fits your life and skills.

How the day-to-day looks: you’ll live in the client’s home, support morning and evening routines, be available for night checks if agreed, and take scheduled breaks as arranged with the family. Every arrangement is agreed in advance so you know the expectations and can plan travel or time off between placements.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers will introduce you to families who match your skills and preferences, and you decide which bookings to accept.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to leave agency constraints while keeping professional support, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to work independently in Burnage and the surrounding communities.
