Description

Live-in care in Coatbridge means living with a client in their home and supporting their daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country to take on live-in placements here, and you’ll work alongside families in North Lanarkshire to support independence, companionship and practical care. Right now, 11 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — whether you’re already local to Coatbridge or travelling in for placements. Typical pay for roles like these ranges between £142–£160 per day, but you decide your own charge and availability. You’ll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support and companionship. Live-in care often involves longer, continuous periods with agreed rest breaks and some days off for you to recharge.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work typically offers. If you value stability of living with one client, the chance to build a close working relationship and a clearer work–life balance, live-in could be a good fit. Many carers who join PrimeCarers prefer the predictability of staying in one household and the deeper continuity of care it allows.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. We make the admin simpler so you can focus on care. To join you need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not list a single role here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Coatbridge and nearby areas such as Airdrie, Bellshill, Motherwell, Cumbernauld, Hamilton and Rutherglen.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live you can review enquiries, select the clients you want and agree the hours and breaks directly with the family. If you’re used to agency shifts but want to set your own rates and choose your own clients, PrimeCarers is built for that step up in control.

If you’re a caring, experienced professional ready to work in Coatbridge or elsewhere in North Lanarkshire, create your profile today and start seeing suitable live-in opportunities.
