Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in West Gorton

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with ongoing live-in care opportunities in West Gorton. Live-in roles mean you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Carers often travel from across the country for live-in placements and choose where they will work. Right now, 57 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in care in West Gorton is about practical help, companionship and continuity. You’ll support morning and evening routines, help with medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and personal care as agreed with the family. You’ll also be the consistent, trusted presence in someone’s home — often making the biggest difference when continuity matters most.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency shift rotas and take more control. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rate, choose clients, hours and service area, and often arrange longer blocks of work. Typical pay for these roles sits around £145–£160 per day depending on the needs of the person and your experience.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the paperwork: we manage client contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. You remain independent and choose which placements to accept, and you’ll be supported with the admin so you can focus on care.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We’ll check these before your profile goes live so families can book with confidence.
