Description

Live-in carer roles in Falkirk put you at the heart of home-based support: you live with a client in their home, support daily routines and provide round-the-clock care with agreed breaks — many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements. PrimeCarers links self-employed carers directly with families across Falkirk and nearby towns. Right now, 6 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than single posts. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay varies by assignment; many carers work within £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day per live-in day, with overall roles commonly seen at £145–£160 per day depending on needs and experience. Falkirk-based families look for reliable, experienced support for daily tasks, medication prompts, companionship and night support when needed.

Live-in work suits carers who want continuity of care and who can commit to staying in a client’s home for agreed periods while taking scheduled rest breaks. You’ll be supporting routines like mealtimes, personal care, mobility assistance and household check-ins, and you may also provide companionship and practical help to keep someone living safely at home. Falkirk placements can be local or attract carers from farther afield when a match fits.

  • Who we’re looking for: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), and verifiable references.
  • How we help: PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.
  • Where: roles in Falkirk and surrounding communities such as Grahamston, Carron, Stenhousemuir, Larbert, Grangemouth and Bonnybridge, with carers able to choose how far they will travel.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload references and your DBS, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification and then you can review client requests and accept the placements that suit you. PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers ready to step away from traditional agency patterns while keeping the administrative side handled.

If you want a clearer picture of live-in expectations or typical daily routines in Falkirk placements, set up a profile and we’ll walk you through recent assignments and the kinds of clients currently seeking self-employed carers. You remain in control of who you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover.
