Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Failsworth

Live-in care in Failsworth means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. As a self-employed carer with PrimeCarers you choose the clients and hours that suit you while we match you with families in Failsworth and the surrounding area. Right now, 60 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the work looks like: live-in placements typically involve personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and keeping days running smoothly. You will be the main carer on site, supporting routines, encouraging independence and being a calm, reliable presence through mornings, evenings and overnight where needed. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so whether you already live locally to Failsworth or are happy to travel, opportunities can suit different lifestyles.

Pay and flexibility: PrimeCarers connects you directly with families and you set your own rates. Typical live-in day rates and hourly care vary by client need, experience and location; the platform shows the usual ranges and lets you negotiate terms. Typical ranges are £145–£160 per day for care work. You pick the hours and service area that fit you — many carers combine local Failsworth placements with short breaks away or shorter local shifts in Manchester when they prefer.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency work offers. If you value continuity of care, stronger relationships with clients and the chance to agree your own terms, live-in roles in Failsworth could be a good fit. Many carers who join PrimeCarers are looking to escape strict rotas, reduce travel between short shifts, or build longer-term live-in arrangements.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
