Description

Live‑in care in Whalley Range means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements, staying with one family for weeks or months depending on the arrangement. Right now, 58 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This is an ongoing stream of self‑employed opportunities, not a single role. As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area — the typical range we see is £145–£160 per day. You’ll support people who need consistent, personalised help with personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation, companionship and household tasks. Most placements are based in Whalley Range and nearby neighbourhoods including Moss Side, Hulme, Chorlton, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Chorlton Park and Old Moat, with occasional roles elsewhere in Manchester and beyond.

Live‑in work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity of care and the chance to build strong relationships. It also suits people who want predictable routines while keeping flexibility over how many days they accept. Live‑in shifts include agreed rest breaks and overnight arrangements, and you remain self‑employed throughout the placement. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.

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. We do not promise specific incomes, but many carers find live‑in placements can be more stable and rewarding than shift work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How it works: create a short profile highlighting your experience, upload references and your DBS if you already have one, and choose the areas you’ll cover. Once verified you’ll be matched to families looking for live‑in support and can accept or decline any placement. PrimeCarers supports you with contract templates, secure payment processing and simple invoicing — so you can focus on care rather than admin.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to leave agency rota pressures and prefer the continuity of live‑in support in Whalley Range, this could be a natural next step. Start your profile today — it really only takes a few minutes and many carers are live on the platform within days.
