Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Lanark

Live-in care in Lanark means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you want and decide your hours and service area. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Right now, 13 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Many experienced carers choose live-in roles because they suit a hands-on, relationship-based approach to support. You’ll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meals, companionship, mobility and household tasks as agreed with each family. Live-in placements often involve overnight presence and day-to-day involvement rather than fixed shifts, and many carers travel from across the country for these roles — often taking placements around Lanark and nearby towns including Carluke, Biggar, Motherwell, Hamilton, Stoneyburn and Bellshill.

Typical pay for live-in work is £142.50–£160 per day; because you are self-employed you set your own rate within that range and advertise it on your profile. PrimeCarers is built for carers who want flexibility and control: you pick clients, hours and the service area you will cover, and you keep the autonomy that comes from working independently while we take care of the administration.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers who prefer direct relationships with families and want to leave agency-style rotas behind.
• People happy to live-in and provide steady, day-to-day support in a client’s home.
• Carers willing to travel for placements across South Lanarkshire and beyond.

Minimum requirements to join are straightforward:

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

Applying takes minutes — you complete a profile, add your experience and documents, and PrimeCarers verifies everything. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can be contacted directly by families and agree terms that suit you.

If you live near Lanark or elsewhere in South Lanarkshire and are ready for more control over the work you do, Live-in roles on PrimeCarers give you independence plus the practical support of contracts, invoicing and insured cover while you work.
