Description
Live-in care in Crieff means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, bringing experienced, compassionate support to families in Crieff and throughout Perthshire and Kinross. Right now, 9 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
PrimeCarers is for self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates, choose clients, hours and the area you work in; many carers on the platform choose to cover Crieff and nearby towns such as Comrie, Auchterarder, Dunblane, Doune, Alva and Menstrie. Typical pay for roles like this sits around £145–£160 per day, with day-by-day live-in ranges of £145–£160 per day and hourly care roles usually falling in £15–£25 per hour.
What a live-in role involves: you’ll share the home with the person you support and be available to help with routines, medication prompts, personal care, light household tasks and companionship. Work is organised with agreed rest breaks and time off; carers stay overnight as part of the arrangement and bring a steady, reliable presence to the household.
Who this suits: experienced, confident carers who value autonomy and long-term relationships. This role suits people who can manage varied days, follow care plans, and communicate clearly with families and health professionals. It’s especially attractive if you’re thinking of leaving agency work and want to set your own terms while still having back-office support.
How PrimeCarers supports you: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. You remain self-employed at all times and keep control of your rates and schedule.
Entry requirements to join are practical: at least 1 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.
