Description
Looking for live‑in care work in Kinross and the surrounding area that gives you control, dignity and clear paperwork? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families across Kinross, offering live‑in placements where you’ll support daily routines, personal care and companionship while living in the client’s home. Right now, 12 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live‑in care with PrimeCarers means 24‑hour support with agreed breaks — you’ll be with someone in their own home and helping keep everyday life running smoothly. Carers travel here from across the country for placements in Kinross and nearby towns such as Benarty, Ballingry, Kelty, Lochgelly, Cowdenbeath and Kinglassie. You decide which clients you’ll work with, the hours you’ll accept and the area you cover. Typical pay reflects the market: £140–£160 per day for care roles; many carers use the £18.80–£25 per hour for hourly work and £140–£160 per day for live‑in day rates as a guide.
This type of role suits people who have at least one year of professional care experience and who want to step away from agency shift patterns while keeping the practical support that agencies offer. You should have the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), and verifiable references. We ask for those checks because live‑in care requires trust, reliability and clear, documented experience.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, arrange contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a placement. You remain self‑employed — set your own rate and choose the jobs that suit your life. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
- Flexible work: Choose long‑term live‑in placements or short stays that suit your plans around home and travel.
- Control your pay: Set your own rate and accept the clients that match your skills and lifestyle.
- Support with paperwork: We’ll handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you get paid cleanly and promptly.
- Local and visiting roles: Opportunities in Kinross and across Perthshire and Kinross, with carers often travelling from elsewhere for the right placement.
