Description

Live-in care in Kinglassie gives experienced carers the chance to support someone in their own home, day and night, while having agreed breaks. As a live-in carer you'll help with routines, medication prompts, companionship and personal care where needed — travelling from across the country for placements is common for carers who prefer this hands-on style of work. Right now, 12 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This work suits carers who want stability with flexibility. You set your own terms: choose who you work with, the hours you offer and the area you cover. Many carers moving away from agency rotas find they can build longer, more rewarding relationships with clients in Kinglassie and surrounding parts of Fife. Typical pay sits around £140–£160 per day, with day-rate options for live-in shifts and hourly choices for waking nights or hourly care.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers. We find families, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. That means you focus on care while we take care of the paperwork. Carers travel into Kinglassie from nearby towns and further afield to take up live-in placements; many placements are also close to places like Pitcoudie, Collydean, Ballingry, Glenrothes, Lochgelly and Markinch.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. We do not promise any set income, but you remain in control: set your own rates and accept the clients and shifts that suit you.

Applying takes minutes and the profile verification process is straightforward — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once verified you can browse live-in opportunities, message families and agree terms directly. Living with a client requires clear boundaries and good communication; it suits carers who value continuity, strong relationships and a predictable work environment in Kinglassie and across Fife.

If you’re an experienced carer keen to work on your own terms, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step. Many carers find live-in roles through the platform and enjoy the balance of meaningful work and control over their hours and rates in Kinglassie.
