Description

Live-in carer roles in Middleton involve living with a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and provide personal care, medication support, companionship and household help where needed. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work. Right now, 51 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want autonomy and steadier patterns than shift-based agency rounds. It’s ideal for people used to one-to-one care, skilled at managing routines and comfortable living in someone else’s home for agreed periods. Many carers come from agency backgrounds in Manchester and surrounding areas and find live-in roles give more control over when and where they work.

Pay and structure vary by placement. Typical live-in day rates sit within £145–£160 per day and hourly care is often between £18.50–£20 per hour depending on duties and location — many carers on the platform work within £145–£160 per day for comparable roles. Remember, you set your own rate as a self-employed carer and can discuss hours and breaks directly with a family before accepting a placement.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one. We verify documents and references so families can feel confident and carers can start work with the right checks in place.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload a CV and references, and complete the verification steps; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests, ask questions and accept only the placements that suit you. If you want to work locally or travel, you can choose your service area and consider roles in nearby towns such as Blackley, Moston, Crumpsall, New Moston, Chadderton and Harpurhey.

If you’re ready to take more control over your care work in and around Middleton, set your own rates and pick the live-in placements that fit your life, PrimeCarers makes the paperwork and payments straightforward so you can focus on care.
