Description

Live-in care in Kilwinning means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for these placements, staying with clients in Kilwinning and the surrounding towns.
Right now, 13 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in carer you’ll help with day-to-day tasks, personal care, medication prompts, companionship and household routines so someone can remain safe and comfortable at home. Shifts vary because every household’s needs are different — some placements need greater personal care, others more companionship and practical support. Carers suited to live-in roles are reliable, adaptable and happy to work closely with one person in their own environment. Kilwinning often needs carers who can offer steady, compassionate support for longer placements.

Pay & flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical live-in work falls within £145–£160 per day, and you decide the hours and how far you’ll travel to a placement. You choose which clients to accept, your service area and your working pattern, giving more control than agency rota work.

How PrimeCarers helps: We find you clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work on a placement. That admin support makes starting a live-in placement clearer and quicker than managing everything yourself.

Who can apply:

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

We welcome experienced carers thinking of moving away from agency life. Many carers who join PrimeCarers are ready for more control and steadier relationships with clients across Kilwinning and nearby areas such as Irvine, Saltcoats, Troon, Kilmarnock, Largs and Prestwick.
