Looking for live-in carer work in Pittenweem and the surrounding area? Live-in roles mean you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and many choose Pittenweem for its quieter pace and close-knit communities.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you best. Many carers advertise within Anstruther, St Monans, Crail, St Andrews, Leven and Levenmouth and further across Fife because families appreciate experienced, reliable live-in support. Typical pay sits within £140–£160 per day, with details often expressed as an hourly or live-in day range: £15–£25 per hour or £140–£160 per day depending on the arrangement.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work often allows. Live-in placements are about much more than personal care: you’ll support routines, medication prompts, light household tasks, companionship and safe mobility. Shifts are agreed in advance, include regular rest breaks and vary depending on each household’s needs. PrimeCarers helps with the practical side — matching you with families, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work.

What we look for

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