Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Hulme and the surrounding parts of Manchester for live-in care placements. Live-in care means you’ll live with a client in their home and support their daily routine around the clock, with agreed breaks and a rota that suits both of you. Carers travel from across the country for these roles and many appreciate the continuity of working in one home rather than short day shifts. Right now, 52 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control over when, where and who they care for. You set your own rates and your availability, and can accept live-in roles from Hulme, nearby neighbours such as Moss Side, Castlefield, Whalley Range, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Spinningfields and Glenbrook, or further across Manchester if you prefer. Typical pay varies depending on needs and hours — see £146–£160.50 per day and the more detailed ranges of £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £146–£160.50 per day for live-in day rates.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on a placement. That means you remain self-employed, choose your clients and keep full control of your working pattern while PrimeCarers supports the back-office tasks.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly — creating a profile takes minutes and, once documentation is checked, profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Live-in care is rewarding but different from agency shift work. It suits carers who value continuity, close relationships and the practical freedom of setting their own terms. If you’re experienced, reliable and ready to work as a self-employed live-in carer in Hulme or nearby areas, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the easiest way to start accepting client offers across Hulme and Manchester.
Apply in minutes, upload your documents and references, and we’ll help with the verification so you can start seeing suitable live-in opportunities promptly.
