Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families looking for live-in support in Nairn and the surrounding area. Live-in roles mean you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, and you remain self-employed: you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Right now, 7 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in work is ideal if you want continuity of care and to build a trusting relationship with the person you support. Typical duties include personal care, medication prompts, meal support, companionship, light housekeeping and supporting mobility and routines—all tailored to what the family and client need. Many carers move into long-term placements from Nairn and nearby towns such as Cromarty, Forres, Fortrose, Invergordon, Inverness and Alness.
Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and decide which jobs to accept. Typical rates fall within £145–£165 per day for care work, and you can set a day rate for live-in arrangements to reflect the 24-hour nature of the role and your agreed breaks. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, the contract, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.
Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency work offers—control over clients, rota and earnings. You should have 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 arrange one if you need it. We do not list a single vacancy here; this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across the Nairn area.
