Description

Live-in care means you live with someone in their own home to support daily routines and personal care around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay for weeks or months at a time. Right now, 67 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

We connect experienced self-employed carers with families in Hyde and the surrounding area. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and the area you cover. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. Live-in roles typically sit within a flexible range — see £145–£160 per day for day rates and £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care where relevant — and many carers set their own price within £145–£160 per day.

This kind of work suits people who are comfortable living in someone else’s home, who can follow a care plan and who value continuity of care. You’ll support daily routines, medication prompts, meals, mobility and companionship — and be present overnight as agreed with breaks and rest periods factored in. Live-in placements often need someone who can be calm under pressure, organised and respectful of a client’s space and family relationships.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You must be self-employed: that gives you the freedom to set your own rates and working patterns, but also means you manage your own tax and NI obligations. If you’re used to agency life and want more control, PrimeCarers is built for carers making that switch.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload ID and references, and once we verify everything your profile usually goes live within days. We’ll match you with families in Hyde, nearby areas such as Hyde Newton, Hyde Godley, Denton, Denton South, Denton West and Hyde Werneth, and across Greater Manchester when you’re open to travel. PrimeCarers does the paperwork and payment admin so you can focus on care.

If you want predictable live-in work, respected autonomy and direct relationships with families in Hyde and beyond, create your profile today and see the opportunities that fit your availability and skills.
