Live-in Carer Jobs in Miles Platting

Live-in care in Miles Platting means living alongside someone who needs daily support and companionship. You'll help with routines, personal care, medication prompts and household tasks while taking agreed breaks from continuous duties. Many carers travel to live-in placements from across the country to support families in their own homes. Right now, 54 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who want stability, deeper relationships and more control over their work than agency shifts often allow. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — typical ranges are shown on profiles as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. You remain responsible for your working arrangements, but PrimeCarers handles the admin side so you can focus on care.

• What you'll do: support daily routines, assist with personal care, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship. Live-in work involves being available overnight while taking agreed rest breaks during the day.
• Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional experience who value continuity of care, want to develop closer partnerships with families and prefer predictable, longer placements.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients, arranging contracts, handling invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work. You remain free to accept or decline offers and to set your own rate on each profile. Many carers switching from agencies find the extra control over hours and pay refreshing, especially around busy areas like Miles Platting and nearby places such as Collyhurst, Ancoats, New Islington, Northern Quarter, Green Quarter and Harpurhey.

To join you will need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check these quickly so applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
