Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Runcorn

Live-in care in Runcorn gives experienced carers the chance to live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Placements typically involve being present overnight and during the day to help with personal care, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks as agreed with the family.

Right now, 56 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you’re based in or near Runcorn and are considering leaving agency work, these roles suit carers who value stability, continuity of care and closer relationships with the people they support. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, staying in a client’s home for agreed periods while maintaining breaks and time off. Work is regularly available across Runcorn and the surrounding area in Cheshire, and in towns such as Widnes, Frodsham, Halewood, Rainhill, Whiston and Huyton.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area — typical pay for similar roles is £145–£160 per day. You’ll see opportunities that list both hourly care and live-in day expectations; typical ranges for each are shown on the platform as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day so you can decide what fits your needs. PrimeCarers introduces you to families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

These ongoing, self-employed opportunities are not single posts for a specific client — they’re continuous placements that suit experienced carers who want more autonomy.

An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have one. You must also have the right to work in the UK.
