Live-in Carer Jobs in Gourock

Live-in care in Gourock gives experienced carers the chance to live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. You’ll be part of someone’s day-to-day life — helping with personal care, meals, mobility and companionship — while being paid as a self-employed carer. Right now, 9 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This kind of work suits skilled carers who want steadier, deeper relationships with clients, and who don’t mind travelling to take a placement; many carers travel from across the country for live-in roles. In Gourock and across Inverclyde you’ll find households looking for reliable, experienced people who can commit to living at the client’s address for agreed periods.

Pay and flexibility
Because carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical live-in pay falls within £145–£160 per day and hourly care is generally within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support needed. As a guide, many live-in roles list rates in the range £145–£160 per day for comparable duties. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.

Who we’re looking for

• At least one year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

If you’re used to agency life but want more control — choosing who you work with, when you work and how much you charge — live-in placements through PrimeCarers could suit you. You’ll still get the practical back-up: PrimeCarers finds clients, manages the paperwork and payments, and includes insurance while you’re on a placement.
