Description
Live-in care in Ladybarn means being a consistent, trusted presence in someone’s home — supporting routines, personal care, meals, medication prompts and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many of our live-in carers travel from across the country for placements and settle in to a household for the agreed period, working closely with families to keep the person they support safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Right now, 60 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
These opportunities suit experienced carers who want to move away from the rota-heavy agency model and take control of where and how they work. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates (typical ranges show as £146.50–£161 per day), choose the clients you accept and agree hours and breaks directly. Live-in days typically follow an agreed pattern of sleep time and waking support; many carers also arrange planned time off with families before they start a placement.
Pay and time commitments: carers on our platform usually quote within £18.70–£20 per hour for hourly care or £146.50–£161 per day for live-in day rates. Because you’re self-employed you invoice for the time you and the family agree. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working on an assignment.
Requirements to join are straightforward and there to keep everyone safe: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already work in care in Manchester or nearby — Withington, Fallowfield, Old Moat, Burnage, Didsbury West and Didsbury East — you’ll find the local client introductions are practical and straightforward.
