Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Boddam

Live-in care in Boddam means living alongside a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers choose live-in work because it builds continuity with one household and lets you focus on person-centred support rather than shift handovers. Right now, 3 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you’re based in Boddam, travelling from nearby towns or prepared to relocate for a placement, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the service area you’ll cover. Typical rates on PrimeCarers are £145–£159.50 per day. For reference, hourly and live-in ranges are shown as £15–£25 per hour and £145–£159.50 per day so you can compare opportunities and decide what suits you.

Live-in care suits experienced carers who value continuity, flexibility and deeper relationships with the people they support. Typical duties include personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation, companionship, supporting routines and light household tasks. You will live in the client’s home in Boddam or surrounding areas such as Clerkhill, Peterhead, Ellon, Maud, Fraserburgh and Rosehearty, and you may travel from elsewhere in the UK for agreed placements. Every arrangement includes agreed breaks and time off, so you get planned rest while providing 24/7 support.

PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, raise invoices and organise payments. While you work on an assignment, insurance is included. As a self-employed carer you keep control of how you work: set your rates, agree your hours and accept the placements that fit you.

Basic requirements to join are clear: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. You’ll be asked to complete a profile and provide evidence for checks; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
