Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed live-in carers with families in Scone and the surrounding areas. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home, supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks, staying close to the person you support and becoming part of their day-to-day life. Our platform is designed for experienced carers who want control over who they work with and how they work in Scone, Perthshire and Kinross. Right now, 10 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

Live-in roles suit carers who enjoy continuity of care, strong one-to-one relationships and the practical rhythm of household life. You will help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship, mobility support and keeping the home safe and comfortable. Live-in placements often include day and night routines, agreed rest breaks and time away during the placement: you decide what hours and breaks feel right for you when you agree terms with a family.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits in the region of £140–£160 per day, with common hourly and daily ranges shown on profiles as £15–£25 per hour and £140–£160 per day. Many carers who leave agency work for direct live-in roles appreciate the transparent pay, clearer time off and the chance to agree tailored care plans directly with families in Scone and nearby towns such as Perth, Bridge of Earn, Coupar Angus, Auchtermuchty, Birnam and Blairgowrie and Rattray.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, carry out invoicing and handle payments. Insurance is included while you work on placements arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed at all times and keep control of how you charge and when you work.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange your DBS if you need support. We also ask for up-to-date references so families can match with confidence. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements; if you are willing to travel, you can access a wider range of roles across Perthshire and Kinross.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload certificates and references, and our verification team will review your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start reviewing suitable live-in opportunities and speaking to families directly.
