Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in North Berwick

Live-in care in North Berwick means sharing a home with a client and supporting their daily routine around the clock, with agreed breaks and time off. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and build lasting relationships while keeping professional boundaries. Right now, 7 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area — whether you want regular live-in work around North Berwick or to cover nearby towns such as Ballencrieff, Haddington, Dunbar, St Monans, Pittenweem and Cockenzie and Port Seton. You set your own rates and availability; typical rates on the platform sit at £145–£160 per day. Live-in roles often suit experienced carers who prefer continuity of care, predictable routines and close involvement in a client’s daily life.

Live-in work usually involves supporting personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship and household tasks that help someone remain safely at home. Shifts vary by client: some need overnight checks with daytime breaks, others require more hands-on support. Carers travel from across the country for these placements and bring their experience and professionalism to each household in North Berwick and the wider East Lothian area.

What we expect to join:

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