Live-in Carer Jobs in Clerkhill

Live‑in care in Clerkhill means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers come to Clerkhill from across the UK for placements that suit longer stays and close relationships. As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose your clients and control your service area. Right now, 7 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

What the work looks like: you’ll support personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and household tasks as agreed with each family. Live‑in shifts are about steady presence rather than constant activity — there will be agreed sleep or rest periods and timed breaks built into every arrangement. Carers often travel to placements from nearby towns and beyond; common locations around Clerkhill include Peterhead, Boddam, Maud, Ellon, Fraserburgh and Rosehearty.

Pay and flexibility: you set your rates as a self‑employed worker. Typical hourly care ranges and typical live‑in day ranges are shown on platform listings: £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day. Many carers list typical rates of £145–£160 per day when they want a clear starting point for conversations with families. You decide the clients you accept, the hours you work and how far you’re willing to travel.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find families, manage contracts, invoice and collect payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. That administrative support removes the paperwork burden common with agency work while keeping you in control of your working life.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more autonomy than agency rosters allow. This role fits people who value steady live‑in arrangements, continuity of care and the chance to build stronger relationships with clients in Clerkhill and across Aberdeenshire. If you prefer short shifts, ad hoc cover or only local day work, you can still choose those options — PrimeCarers lists a variety of self‑employed opportunities.

Minimum requirements to join PrimeCarers: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
