Description

Live-in care in Chorltonville means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and clear boundaries. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompting, meals, companionship, mobility support and light household tasks, adapting to each person’s rhythms and preferences. Placements attract carers from across the country who want focused, meaningful work delivered on a self-employed basis in or near Chorltonville and greater Manchester.

Right now, 55 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities are designed for experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — many carers use the flexibility to balance work with family life or other commitments. Typical pay sits around £146–£160.50 per day, with further details often shown as £18.60–£20 per hour for hourly care and £146–£160.50 per day for live-in day rates on individual profiles.

Live-in shifts require reliability, patience and the ability to work independently. You’ll be expected to honour agreed rest breaks and to keep communication open with families and PrimeCarers. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so a willingness to relocate temporarily for a placement is important if you prefer longer assignments.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. You remain self-employed throughout — choosing your clients and your working pattern — and you’ll agree terms directly through the platform before starting any placement.

  • Who we’re looking for: people with at least 1 year of professional care experience who can provide verifiable references.
  • Checks needed: an Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
  • Right to work: you must have the right to work in the UK.
  • Professional approach: live-in care requires clear communication, respect for household routines and a commitment to safe, person-centred support.
