Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Northenden

Live-in care roles in Northenden mean living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll provide companionship, help with personal care, support with medication and meals, and keep household routines running smoothly. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and appreciate the depth of relationship-based care these roles allow. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Northenden and greater Manchester. Right now, 64 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Day-to-day you might support morning and evening routines, help with mobility, support memory or dementia needs, assist with light household tasks and be on hand for overnight reassurance where required. Live-in work is about continuity: getting to know one person or a family and helping them live well in their own home. Sleeping arrangements, agreed break times and the practicalities are set out clearly before any placement begins.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who want steadier hours and closer relationships than shift-based agency work often allows. On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, your hours and the service area you will cover. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you keep the control without the paperwork.

Typical pay on the platform varies by need and client, and carers set their own rates. Typical ranges shown on profiles include £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for a live-in day, and many carers on the platform advertise within £145–£160 per day. We never promise income, but the platform tools make it straightforward to set rates that reflect your experience.

You’re ready to join if you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers verifies applicants before profiles go live, and applying takes minutes; profiles typically appear within days of verification. You can be matched with families across Northenden and nearby areas such as Wythenshawe, Northern Moor, Sharston, Merseybank, Baguley and Benchill.
