Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Old Moat

Live-in care in Old Moat is about being a steady, trusted presence in someone's home — supporting daily routines, personal care and companionship while living with a client and taking agreed breaks.

Right now, 58 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients and decide your hours and service area. Typical pay for live-in roles sits in £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly ranges shown on profiles as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You remain in control: you negotiate arrangements directly with families, and you can accept or decline offers that don't fit.

Live-in care responsibilities often include helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support, light household tasks and being on hand through the night if needed. The balance between active support and agreed rest periods is arranged in advance so you know when you’ll be working and when you’re taking breaks. Many carers who leave agency patterns for live-in work tell us they value predictable routines and closer relationships with families in Old Moat and the wider Manchester area.

This kind of role will suit you if you have at least a year of professional care experience, strong references, and the right to work in the UK. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange that) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement, so you can focus on the care.

We list opportunities across Old Moat and nearby areas like Withington, Didsbury West, Fallowfield, Ladybarn, Merseybank and Chorlton Park. Applying takes minutes — you complete a profile, upload checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers connects you to families, but you always choose whom to work with; the platform supports ongoing self-employed placements rather than individual one-off jobs.

If you’re ready to move away from rota-driven agency shifts and want to build longer-term live-in relationships in Old Moat and Manchester, creating a profile is the next step. It’s quick to apply and could open up steady, rewarding placements with families who need consistent, compassionate care.
