Description

Live‑in care in Chorlton means living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks so you can rest. You’ll help with personal care, meals, companionship, medication prompts and keeping the household safe and comfortable — all tailored to what each family needs. Right now, 52 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota constraints and take control of the work they do. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements, and a placement in Chorlton can be a stable, close‑knit way to build strong relationships with the people you support. You’ll often work in Chorlton, Chorlton‑cum‑Hardy and nearby neighbourhoods of Manchester, but you choose where you’ll accept work.

On PrimeCarers you remain self‑employed: you set your own rates and negotiate directly with families. Typical rates for this kind of work are around £146–£160.50 per day and you decide if you want occasional live‑in bookings or longer placements. You also pick your clients, your service area and the hours you’re prepared to do.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side: we find clients, put contracts in place, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. That support lets you focus on caring, not paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward: you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do check these before your profile goes live to keep everyone safe and trusted.

  • How to apply: it takes minutes to create a profile and tell us about your experience.
  • Verification: send your documents and references so we can verify you.
  • Go live: profiles typically go live within days of verification and you can start reviewing client requests.

Live‑in roles in Chorlton let you offer consistent, person‑centred support and build meaningful connections while working with the flexibility you want.
