Description

Live-in carer roles in Tottington mean living with a client in their own home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, household routines, companionship and medication prompts, and you may cover nights and waking nights according to the arrangement. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements to Tottington and the surrounding area. Right now, 49 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area — that flexibility is ideal if you’re used to agency life but want to be selective about the people you support. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day; for reference you’ll also see £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates on profiles.

PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can focus on caring, not paperwork. Placements are based in Tottington and nearby towns such as Ramsbottom, Bury, Radcliffe, Bolton, Whitefield and Heywood, with occasional opportunities across Manchester when families contact us directly.

To join we ask for straightforward, verifiable checks so families can hire with confidence. You’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience;
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t have one);
  • The right to work in the UK;
  • Verifiable references from recent care work.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload ID and references, and we verify your checks. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review client requests and accept only the placements that suit you. We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post, so you remain in control of which families you work with and when.

If you’re an experienced carer based in Tottington, Ramsbottom or wider Bury borough and you’re ready to move away from rota-driven agency shifts, PrimeCarers makes live-in work straightforward and fair. Create your profile today and be ready to discuss placements that fit your skills and lifestyle.
