Description

Live-in care in Inveraray means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll provide personal care, companionship, medication prompts, meal support and household help while being a consistent, trusted presence. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements to Inveraray and beyond; placements are arranged with clear boundaries and agreed rest periods. Right now, 5 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This role suits experienced, confident carers who want more control than agency work gives. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose who you work for and decide your hours and service area. Live-in day rates typically fall in the range £145–£160 per day and hourly roles sit around £15–£25 per hour, with many carers advertising within £145–£160 per day. You remain independent but get practical backing from PrimeCarers for contracts, invoicing and payments — plus insurance while you work.

Work is available across Inveraray and the surrounding area, including nearby towns such as Lochgilphead, Oban, Dunoon, Helensburgh, Gourock and Greenock. Placements vary in length and complexity. Some clients need mostly companionship and help with routines; others require hands-on personal care alongside household tasks. You’ll always choose the clients you feel suited to and agree working patterns before you accept a placement.

Requirements to join are straightforward and focus on safe, reliable practice:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care. We manage client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and your insurance is included while you’re working with a client. You remain self-employed and in control — no rotas imposed by an agency. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be visible to Inveraray families quickly.
