Description
Live-in care in Hindley gives experienced carers the chance to live with a client and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, companionship and keeping a household running smoothly. Many carers travel from across the country to take on live-in placements in Hindley and the wider Manchester area. Right now, 45 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This work suits carers who want more autonomy than agency shifts allow. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you can accept live-in roles that fit your life. Typical pay is flexible — many carers list rates in £145–£160 per day and choose whether to advertise hourly (£18.50–£20 per hour) or a live-in day rate (£145–£160 per day).
PrimeCarers does the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find clients, prepare the contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you are working.

- Who we’re looking for — Carers with at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references.
- What live-in looks like — You’ll be based in the client’s home, supporting day-to-day life and overnight needs with agreed breaks and time off. Placements are arranged with clear expectations and written contracts.
- Flexibility — You choose which clients to accept, which hours to offer and the geographic area you’ll cover, including Hindley and surrounding parts of Manchester.
If you’re used to agency routines but want to keep your independence, live-in care via PrimeCarers lets you work on your terms while still having support for the business side of things.
