Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Cheetham and the wider Manchester area who need live-in support. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home and help with daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks; many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements while keeping control over where and when they work. Right now, 51 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits carers who want reliable, ongoing placements rather than short shifts. You set your own rates and choose the clients and hours that fit your life — typical pay falls in £148–£161 per day, with common hourly and day ranges shown on your profile via £18.70–£20 per hour and £148–£161 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That administrative support keeps you focused on care, not paperwork.
In Cheetham you may support people with personal care, medication prompts, mealtime assistance, mobility help and companionship. Live-in days include sleep-in arrangements and agreed rest periods; all duties, hours and breaks are set out clearly in the placement agreement so everyone knows what to expect. Many carers moving on from agency work find the continuity and deeper relationships in live-in care rewarding and less fragmented than shift-based roles.
Who we're looking for:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
Cheetham carers often travel to nearby areas including Strangeways, Green Quarter, Collyhurst, Harpurhey, Miles Platting and Ancoats; many placements attract applicants from across Manchester and beyond. If you're already working privately or with an agency and want more control over clients and pay, PrimeCarers is built for people like you.
Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload your references and checks, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then we start showing your profile to families looking for live-in support in Cheetham and nearby neighbourhoods. If you prefer, you can set geographic limits so you only see opportunities that suit your travel plans.
