Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Keith

Live-in care in Keith puts you at the heart of someone’s home life: you live with a client, support daily routines and provide personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. These roles suit experienced carers who want deeper relationships, continuity of care and control over when and where they work in Keith and the surrounding area. Right now, 8 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

We connect self-employed private carers with families across Keith, Huntly and beyond. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and stay with clients in their own homes, supporting mealtimes, mobility, medication prompts, night checks and companionship. If you prefer quieter one-to-one work rather than shift-based agency rotas, live-in care in Keith could be a good fit.

Pay is set by you as a self-employed carer and varies by client and living arrangements. Typical rates on the platform are £145–£160 per day, with day and hourly ranges depending on the care required and the placement. Travel and agreed breaks are arranged with the family before you accept a placement.

This role suits carers who have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We also expect clear references and the ability to manage the responsibilities of living with a client for an agreed period.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients, preparing contracts and managing invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on placements sourced through the platform, and you remain free to choose clients, hours and your service area — including placements around Keith and elsewhere in Moray. You decide which introductions to accept and how you balance live-in work with any other commitments.

Applying takes minutes: build a profile, upload your checks and references, and our verification team reviews your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review client requests and accept the ones that suit you. For carers based near Huntly, Buckie, Dufftown, Cullen, Portsoy and Elgin, live-in opportunities often come up that match different preferences and experience levels.
