Live-in Carer Jobs in Crewe

Live-in care in Crewe means living alongside someone in their own home, helping with daily routines, personal care and companionship, and being available around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experience and stability to families who want familiar faces in their homes. Right now, 100 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want more control over who they work with and how. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer, choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rate. Typical rates range from £145–£160 per day depending on needs and experience. Live-in days and hourly care are both possible so you can find placements that fit your life, whether you prefer longer stays in Crewe or shorter visits across Cheshire.

Live-in duties usually include helping with morning and evening routines, medication prompts, light meal preparation, moving and handling where trained, social support and keeping the home environment safe and comfortable. These roles often involve building long-term relationships — families in Crewe value consistency and a calm, practised approach. Carers travelling in from nearby towns such as Nantwich, Sandbach, Alsager, Middlewich, Winsford and Kidsgrove often find the variety and depth of live-in work rewarding.

• What you need to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.
• How it works: you remain self-employed, set your own hours and rates, and select clients that match your skills and availability.
• Practicalities: PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.

Applying takes minutes: build a profile, upload checks and references, and our verification team usually gets profiles live within days. Many carers find live-in placements in Crewe and across Cheshire that suit their routine and travel preferences.
