Description

Live-in care in Cheadle means living alongside a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household tasks that keep someone safe and independent at home. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, staying with a client for a set period and working flexibly around the person’s needs. Right now, 70 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers who want more control. You set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical pay sits in the range £145–£160 per day depending on the role and your experience; live-in placements are often paid as a day rate (see £145–£160 per day) or as agreed hourly care (see £18.50–£20 per hour).

This work suits experienced carers who want to step away from agency rotas and long commutes. You’ll be expected to manage day-to-day care, maintain records, communicate with families and health professionals, and be respectful of the client’s home. Live-in care in Cheadle often involves companionship, supporting routines and enabling outings into nearby communities such as Parrs Wood, Didsbury East, Didsbury, Cheadle Hulme, Sharston and Peel Hall and wider Manchester when required.
