Live-in Carer Jobs in Didsbury

Live-in care in Didsbury means you’ll live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for weeks or months depending on the arrangement. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over who you work with and when, live-in roles can suit experienced carers who value continuity of care and a predictable routine.
Right now, 64 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, and pick the hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay falls in the range £145–£160 per day; day and hourly ranges are shown on profiles as £145–£160 per day for live-in days and £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care. You decide which offers to accept and how long to stay with a client.

What PrimeCarers handles for you:

• Client introductions: we find potential clients so you can focus on care.
• Contracts and invoicing: we prepare contracts, invoice families and ensure payments are handled cleanly.
• Insurance included: cover is provided while you are working through PrimeCarers.

Who this role suits in Didsbury and Manchester

• Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more choice than typical agency routes.
• People comfortable living with a client and supporting personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation and companionship as part of daily life.
• Those willing to travel for placements; many carers come from other parts of the UK for live-in work and stay for the length of the agreed placement.

Requirements to join are straightforward: you need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Profiles are quick to set up — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
