This page advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Dumfries and Galloway and nearby towns such as Wigtown, Newton Stewart, Gatehouse of Fleet, Kirkcudbright, Stranraer and Castle Douglas. You’ll choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you and set your own rates — many carers use £144–£160 per day as a guide. Live-in work suits experienced carers who like continuity of care, a predictable routine, and the chance to build strong relationships with the people they support.
Live-in responsibilities typically include personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, emotional support and household tasks that help a client stay safe and comfortable. Days are agreed with the family and include rest breaks; your working pattern and time off are set between you and the client so you can balance work and life. For reference, typical hourly care ranges are £15–£25 per hour and typical live-in day ranges are £144–£160 per day.
PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients and handling contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on placements arranged through the platform. That means less admin for you and more time focused on care. We’ll also help with paperwork: you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if needed.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and your DBS (or ask us to start one), and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, families can contact you directly and you decide which matches to accept. Live-in placements in and around Monreith can suit carers looking to step away from agency rota work and run their own self-employed care practice.
If you’re an experienced carer who values independence, clear terms and reliable support, joining PrimeCarers could be the next step. Set your rates, choose your clients and bring quality live-in care to people across Monreith and Dumfries and Galloway.
