Description
Live-in care in Green Quarter is about more than night checks — it’s about living alongside someone to support daily routines, companionship and practical help when they need it. Many of our live-in roles are in family homes around Green Quarter and nearby areas; carers travel from across the country for placements and stay with clients as agreed, taking breaks as set out in each plan.
Right now, 56 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own terms: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your rates. Typical pay on the platform sits around £145–£160 per day, with details shown as either £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates depending on the placement. You’ll see opportunities across Green Quarter, with other placements often near Strangeways, Northern Quarter, Ancoats, Glenbrook, Collyhurst and Manchester city centre and Manchester city centre.
This kind of role suits experienced carers who want a closer, longer-term relationship with people they support. Live-in care often involves assisting with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, household tasks and being on hand for companionship and reassurance. Shifts are agreed before you accept a placement and include scheduled breaks so you’re rostered time away from duties.
PrimeCarers handles the admin: we introduce you to families, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance for the time you’re working. That leaves you free to focus on care and on deciding which placements fit your life. Profiles take minutes to complete and typically go live within days of verification.
Requirements 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.
- Verifiable professional references.
