Description

Live-in care in Stalybridge North means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll be the familiar face a family trusts for companionship, personal care and household help — often for longer-term, steady placements. Right now, 63 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency shifts usually offer. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and find the extended, deeper relationships very rewarding. In Stalybridge North and nearby areas you’ll meet people who value consistency and dignity in their care, and you can choose assignments that match your skills and availability. We also connect roles across Manchester when a client’s needs or location make sense.

On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed and set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Live-in pay typically sits in a day range that reflects 24-hour support with agreed breaks; you can expect flexibility around when and how you take those breaks. Typical pay for this kind of role is £145–£160 per day and you control the final rate on your profile.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced carers:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references
