Live-in Carer Jobs in Aberdeen

PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire who need live-in support. Live-in care means you live in a client’s home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off arranged in advance. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many choose to base themselves in and around Aberdeen for shorter commutes to nearby homes. Right now, 6 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific post. As a live-in carer you’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes, mobility, companionship and household routines. You’ll work closely with one household so continuity of care matters; you’ll also have agreed rest breaks each day and planned time away to recharge.

This kind of role suits practitioners who value autonomy and steady relationships with families. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of work are £145–£160 per day depending on the client’s needs and your experience. You can also reference typical ranges for other formats: £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

PrimeCarers handles searching for suitable clients, the contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you keep control of your working life while we take care of the paperwork and payment flow. Many carers who move away from agency work appreciate this practical support while remaining self-employed.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days after checks are complete. We work across Aberdeen and neighbouring areas including Portlethen, Westhill, Kintore, Red Cloak, Stonehaven and Inverurie, so you can pick placements that suit your travel plans.
