This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Withington and nearby parts of Manchester — not one specific placement. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical pay varies: many carers on our platform work within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care, or £145–£160 per day for live-in days, and overall £145–£160 per day is common for this type of role.
Live-in care suits experienced, confident carers who enjoy building close, long-term relationships and who can manage day-to-day household rhythms alongside personal care and companionship. You’ll support routines, medication prompts, mobility assistance and meaningful social activity while living in the client’s home. Carers travelling to Withington from elsewhere in the UK are welcome — many of our live-in roles involve travel and short-term relocation for the placement.
