Live-in Carer Jobs in Walkden

Live-in care in Walkden means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll help with personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and practical household tasks that keep someone safe and comfortable in their own home. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many find the continuity and deeper relationships very rewarding. Right now, 51 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These roles suit experienced, reliable carers who prefer autonomy over agency rotas. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £145–£160 per day, with detailed ranges available in listings like £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. Many carers leave agency work because they want steadier relationships with clients and more control over their working life in and around Walkden or nearby towns such as Worsley, Kearsley, Farnworth, Swinton, Tyldsley and Pendlebury.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on placements arranged through the platform. That means less paperwork for you and more time doing care that matters. Profiles take minutes to complete and typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable opportunities quickly.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Reliable, compassionate and able to commit to live-in placements as agreed with a client.

Walkden is part of a busy local area with demand for consistent, skilled live-in carers.
