Live-in Carer Jobs in Aviemore

Live-in care in Aviemore means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many placements suit experienced carers who want continuity, to build strong relationships and to practise person-centred care. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring skills, compassion and reliability to each household. Right now, 5 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control, PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for similar roles is £145–£160 per day, and you can compare hourly and live-in day expectations using £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day when assessing a placement. We don’t advertise a single job here — we connect you to ongoing opportunities across Aviemore and the Highlands.

This style of work suits carers who have at least one year of professional care experience, a clear Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need practical skills in personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation and supporting mobility, plus the emotional resilience to be a calm presence in someone’s home.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments. While you work on a placement we include insurance and we can support you with onboarding checks. You remain self-employed: you choose your rates, accept the placements you want and decide how widely you’ll travel. Live-in shifts include agreed breaks and time off — these are set between you and the family before you start.

Aviemore is a popular area for live-in roles, and placements also appear in nearby towns such as Kingussie, Grantown on Spey, Inverness, Nairn, Fortrose and Blair Atholl.
