Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Collyhurst

Are you an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rotas and gain more control over your work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed live-in carers with families around Collyhurst and Manchester. Live-in roles mean living with a client in their home, supporting daily routines and providing personalised care through agreed waking and sleeping shifts with regular breaks. You choose who you work with, the hours you accept and your service area. Carers set their own rates and control their working patterns.

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

Live-in work suits carers who are confident delivering companionship, personal care, medication support and household routines for people who prefer to remain at home. Many carers travel from across the country for longer placements; others prefer shorter regional work. Typical pay varies by arrangement — think in terms of £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day per live-in day — and PrimeCarers shows typical ranges like £145–£160 per day so you can pitch your rate with confidence.

PrimeCarers is designed for people with at least one year of professional care experience. To join you will need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. While you work through the platform we manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included for the time you’re on placement.

If you’re tired of agency-driven shifts and want to choose clients who fit your values, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to do it. Create a profile, list your skills and preferred areas (we often have requests across Collyhurst, Miles Platting, Ancoats, New Islington, Green Quarter, Northern Quarter and Cheetham and neighbouring parts of Manchester), and set the services you offer — personal care, dementia support, palliative assistance, companionship and more. You remain self-employed and keep control over rates, hours and travel.

How to get started: sign up, add your details and references, and upload any certificates. We guide you through DBS if needed, verify your profile, and introduce you to families whose needs match your skills. Many carers find that this approach gives better continuity of care and clearer communication than agency-led placements.

If Collyhurst is your local patch or you’re open to travel for the right placement, PrimeCarers offers flexible, ongoing opportunities that respect your professionalism and independence. Apply now — it only takes a few minutes to create a profile and start seeing matches.
