Live-in Carer Jobs in Sharston

Live-in care in Sharston means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so you’ll often join households where continuity and companionship matter as much as practical support. Right now, 76 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and areas you want to work in. Typical pay is shown as £145–£160 per day for care roles; live-in placements are usually agreed as a day rate (see £145–£160 per day) and hourly care is commonly in the range £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers helps match you with families in Sharston and nearby areas like Benchill, Wythenshawe, Northenden, Peel Hall, Baguley and Newall Green and across Manchester.

Live-in work suits experienced carers who value continuity: supporting morning and evening routines, helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, moving safely around the home and offering company through the day. You’ll be resident in the client’s home and free to take agreed breaks; many carers arrange predictable rest windows and short local trips. Travel to and from placements is organised by you—carers often travel long distances for the right live-in match.

PrimeCarers looks after the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, draw up contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, manage your tax and accept the clients you want. The platform is designed for carers thinking of leaving agency routines but wanting a straightforward way to connect directly with families in Sharston and greater Manchester.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you already have paperwork ready, the process can be very quick.
