Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Methil

Live-in care assistants supporting people in Methil live with a client in their home and help with daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring continuity and companionship to people who prefer to stay at home. Right now, 8 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced care workers who want more control than agency work. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay for this type of role is around £142.50–£160 per day, with common hourly and live-in benchmarks of £18.80–£20 per hour and £142.50–£160 per day respectively. You won’t be tied to rotas imposed by others: you agree terms directly with the family and confirm breaks and sleep-in arrangements before you start.

PrimeCarers does the heavy lifting so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. If you’re based outside Fife that’s fine — carers often relocate for live-in placements across the UK, including around Methil and nearby towns such as Buckhaven, Leven, Levenmouth, Balcurvie, East Wemyss and Markinch.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t require you to surrender your independence: you remain self-employed, choose which clients to accept and set the rate you’re comfortable with.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and references, and submit for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification so you can start seeing live-in opportunities quickly. When a family is interested they’ll view your profile and you can discuss arrangements before accepting any placement. Every step is designed to keep things clear and fair for both carers and families.

If you’re an experienced carer who values flexibility, continuity of care and the chance to build meaningful one-to-one relationships, live-in work around Methil could be the change you’re looking for.
