Description

Live-in care in Middlewich means staying with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, household support, medicines prompts and companionship while living where the person is most comfortable. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and cover long-term arrangements as well as shorter stays. Right now, 88 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This style of work suits experienced, confident carers who want continuity of support and to build closer relationships with the people they care for. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay ranges you’ll see on the platform include £145–£160 per day; you can also compare £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly roles and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates when considering placements.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the practical admin so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work through the platform. Many carers who used agency work find this arrangement gives them more control over when and where they work, while still having back-office support. Middlewich sits well for placements across the area and we regularly have opportunities near Winsford, Sandbach, Northwich, Crewe, Knutsford and Alsager and across Cheshire.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Remember these are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single advertised role, and carers travel to placements from outside the region when it suits them.

If you’re an experienced carer based in or near Middlewich and want more flexibility, clearer pay and trusted admin support, creating a profile takes only a few minutes. Once verified you can start reviewing client requests, negotiate terms that work for you, and accept placements that match your skills and availability. Many carers find working through PrimeCarers gives them professional freedom while keeping a reliable stream of people needing live-in care in Middlewich and the surrounding towns.
