This page advertises ongoing self-employed live-in care opportunities across Chester and nearby towns such as Saltney, Hawarden, Ellesmere Port, Shotton, Ewole and Connahs Quay. You’ll live with the person you support and help with personal care, medication prompts, mobility, household tasks and social connection — the exact duties are agreed with each family in advance. Live-in shifts are flexible: carers negotiate their own hours and take agreed breaks, then record and arrange time off with the family.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want control. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates, pick the clients you want to work with and choose your service area. Typical pay for roles of this type is { {rate_range} } and many carers plan with the more detailed ranges of £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly work or £145–£160 per day for day rates when living in. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want to leave the agency treadmill and build relationships with the people they support. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed). Many live-in carers who travel to Chester bring their own experience from elsewhere and are welcomed by families seeking stable, trusted support.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain in control of which introductions you accept; PrimeCarers only connects you with families who match your skills and preferences. There is no single advertised placement here — these are ongoing opportunities for self-employed carers across Chester and the wider Cheshire area.
