Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Salford

Are you an experienced carer looking to move away from agency constraints and into live-in work around Salford? Live-in care assistants on PrimeCarers live with clients in their homes, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates — many carers in the area operate within £145–£160 per day. Right now, 53 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in placements can be local to Salford or involve travel from across the country for longer stays. Typical live-in work involves personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship, and helping with day-to-day routines. You will be expected to provide continuous care with agreed rest periods, and to coordinate handovers with families or other carers where needed. Many carers enjoy the deeper relationships that come from living alongside a client and supporting them at all stages of the day.

This type of work suits experienced, dependable people who are comfortable spending extended periods in someone’s home, who value continuity of care, and who want the flexibility to accept only the placements that fit their life. You might be currently working through an agency in Manchester or further afield and want more control over your work pattern and pay.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work. You remain in charge of your schedule and service area, and you can set rates that reflect your experience and the care required. For reference, typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown on profiles as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

To join we ask for 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’ll verify your details quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Many carers find placements near Salford city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods such as Spinningfields, Pendlebury, Castlefield, Strangeways, Glenbrook and Green Quarter.
