Live-in Carer Jobs in Kirkconnel

Live‑in care in Kirkconnel means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers choose live‑in work because it builds close relationships and offers continuity of care; placements can suit experienced carers who want control over their time and the people they support in Kirkconnel and the surrounding area of Dumfries and Galloway. Right now, 15 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for care work appears as £145–£160 per day, with separate guidance for hourly and full live‑in day rates: £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

What live‑in care involves: you’ll support morning and evening routines, medication prompts, companionship, light household tasks and mobility assistance as agreed with each client. You may work with people with dementia, long‑term conditions or age‑related needs. Many carers travel from across the country for live‑in placements, so opportunities nearby Kirkconnel often attract applicants from further afield.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience and want to leave agency shift patterns behind, live‑in roles through PrimeCarers can offer steadier, relationship‑based work. You’ll be choosing who you work with and setting terms that fit your life — whether you prefer shorter live‑in stays or longer placements that become a home from home.

To join you need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references
