Live-in Carer Jobs in Forfar

Live-in carers on PrimeCarers live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and respect for personal space. These roles suit carers who can provide companionship, personal care and household support over a number of days or weeks at a time. Many of our live-in carers travel from across the country to take placements that suit their skills and lifestyle. Right now, 9 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

If you're thinking about leaving agency work, Forfar can be a great place to build your live-in practice. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients you want to work with. Typical pay is flexible — many carers list within £140–£160 per day depending on experience and responsibilities — and you can also consider hourly or day rates with ranges like £19.50–£20 per hour and £140–£160 per day when negotiating directly with families. PrimeCarers supports the business side so you can focus on care and on building lasting relationships in Angus and nearby communities.

Typical requirements to join are straightforward and focused on safety and experience. You will need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience;
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed);
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

We handle contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and include insurance while you work on placements arranged through the platform. Profiles are quick to create — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Many carers find clients near Forfar and in surrounding towns such as Letham, Kirriemuir, Brechin, Monifieth, Carnoustie and Arbroath.

How it actually works: create a profile, show your experience and references, and choose the live-in roles that suit you. Because you’re self-employed you keep control over your hours, days off and who you work for — while PrimeCarers handles the paperwork that can otherwise tie you down. If you're already based in Forfar or happy to travel to the area, live-in placements can bring meaningful, steady work and close community ties.
