Description
Live-in care in Malpas means living alongside someone in their own home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements and bring stability to households in village and rural settings. Right now, 95 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
This kind of work suits experienced, confident carers who want control over their working life. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed, you set your own rates and you choose your clients, hours and service area. You’ll see roles around Malpas and across Cheshire, with typical pay shown as £145–£160 per day. Live-in placements can be longer-term and deepen the relationship with the person you support, while still giving you the professional boundaries you expect.
Daily duties vary by household. You may support personal care, help with medication prompts, assist with mobility and transfers, manage light household tasks, and offer company and routine—all in line with what the client and family agree. Live-in care requires reliability, good judgement and the ability to be calm under pressure. Breaks are agreed in advance and you can plan days off or swap with other carers when needed.
What we ask for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
- A willingness to travel for placements; many carers come from outside the local area.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. You remain self-employed: you negotiate terms with families and choose which placements to accept. If you’re already working with clients in nearby places such as Whitchurch, Farndon, Overton on Dee, Rhosnesni, Wrexham and Ellesmere, joining can be a straightforward next step.
If you’re an experienced carer ready to move away from agency structures and take more control of your work, creating a profile is quick and practical. Join other carers supporting lives in Malpas and the surrounding villages who prefer meaningful, flexible live-in roles.
