Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Gorton

Live-in care in Gorton means being part of someone’s home and daily life — supporting routines, personal care and companionship while you live with a client, with agreed breaks during the placement. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in work and PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families across Gorton and the surrounding area. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area; PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Right now, 51 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This is for experienced carers who want a different way of working than traditional agencies. You need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this for you. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific role, so you can consider multiple placements in and around Gorton before committing.

Pay and flexibility are in your control. You decide your rate and which clients you’ll accept; many live-in roles fall within the typical range of £145–£160.50 per day depending on the support required, travel and the hours agreed. For clarity, day and hourly ranges are shown on each listing as £18.60–£20 per hour and £145–£160.50 per day where relevant. Live-in work suits carers who can be present around the clock while supporting routines and personal care, and who are comfortable with agreed awake and sleep-in periods and scheduled breaks.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and your DBS (or ask us to help arrange one) and our team will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and once live PrimeCarers will match you with families seeking live-in care across Gorton and nearby neighbourhoods like Abbey Hey, Openshaw, Belle Vue, Levenshulme, Highfield Country Park and Longsight. PrimeCarers also handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on the care itself while having insurance cover during placements.
