Description
Live-in care roles in Kelty put you at the heart of someone’s daily life, supporting routines, companionship and personal care while living in the client’s home with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring the skills and calm needed for 24-hour support. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Kelty and nearby areas; we’re not offering one specific placement.
Right now, 13 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a self-employed carer using PrimeCarers you choose who you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover — whether you want Kelty only or placements that include parts of Fife. You set your own rates and can reflect your experience and responsibilities in what you charge. Typical ranges for these roles sit around £140–£160 per day depending on the client and duties.
Live-in work can include supporting morning and evening routines, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility assistance and companionship, plus agreed overnight arrangements and breaks. Carers travelling into Kelty often stay with a family for several weeks or months at a time; that continuity suits carers who prefer deeper relationships and predictable routines.
Who this suits
- Carers with at least one year’s professional care experience who want more control than agency-style shifts.
- People comfortable living in someone else’s home and managing day-to-day routines with respect and professionalism.
- Carers prepared to travel for placements and who value longer, stable bookings.
