Description

Live-in care means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. You’ll help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and practical household support, staying in the person’s home as part of day-to-day life. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many of the roles we list come from families near Chadderton and the wider Manchester area. Right now, 49 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, calm carers who want more control over where and how they work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rate. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day depending on the needs of the person and the length of the placement; live-in day rates are shown on each profile. You decide whether to accept local Chadderton placements or travel to nearby areas such as Oldham, Royton, New Moston, Moston, Middleton and Failsworth.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care: we introduce clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. That means straightforward terms and fewer agency intermediaries between you and the family.

Minimum requirements to join:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

If you’re used to agency life but want to set your own hours, take more control of your pay and pick clients who suit your approach, live-in work through PrimeCarers could be a good next step. Many carers find the stability of a live-in placement around Chadderton lets them build deeper relationships and plan their weeks more predictably than shift-based work.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload ID and references, and complete verification.
