Live-in Carer Jobs in Portsoy

Live-in care in Portsoy means living with a client in their home and supporting day-to-day routines, personal care and companionship while agreed breaks are taken. Many carers travel from across the UK for live-in placements in Portsoy and the surrounding Aberdeenshire communities to provide continuity for families and a predictable working pattern for themselves. Right now, 8 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in carer you'll support morning and evening routines, help with mobility, meal preparation, medication prompts and be there for social and emotional support. The role suits experienced carers who prefer one-to-one work and the stability of being based with one household. Carers often work with people who value a familiar face overnight, while having clear, agreed breaks and time off during the placement.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Portsoy and nearby areas such as Cullen, Banff, Macduff, Banff and Macduff, Buckie and Turriff. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical pay is around £145–£165 per day, with more detailed ranges shown as £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£165 per day for live-in day rates — you decide what to charge based on the needs and complexity of the support required.

This advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities, not one single role. To join we ask for 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 do not arrange work for people without these checks in place, because families need reassurance that their carer is properly vetted.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find local clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working on a placement. You remain self-employed: you choose assignments and manage your own work-life balance while we support the logistics. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you already work agency shifts and are thinking about a change, Portsoy live-in roles can give you more consistency, closer relationships and the autonomy to set your rates.
