Live-in Carer Jobs in Scotland

Live-in care with PrimeCarers is about living alongside someone in their home and supporting daily routines, companionship and personal care around the clock with agreed breaks. If you want to work in Stirling and across Scotland, travel for placements is common and carers often find long, supportive stays that suit experienced professionals. Right now, 12 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single job. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area — many carers use a typical range of £144–£160 per day to reflect the skill and responsibility of live-in work. You can also consider hourly care or day rates shown as £15–£25 per hour and £144–£160 per day depending on the arrangement families need.

What the role involves: you will be living in a client’s home and helping with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and social engagement. The best matches are for experienced carers who can work independently, respect someone’s home and routines, and communicate clearly with family members and PrimeCarers when needed. Live-in placements can be geographically spread; carers travel from across the country to join clients and often cover areas around Stirling, including Comrie, Aberfeldy, Crieff, Callander, Doune and Dunblane.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce families, manage contracts, issue invoices and process payments. Insurance is included while you work on a placement, and we can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you don't yet have one. Many carers leave agency rotas for the control and predictability of choosing their own clients and setting their own hours.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience.
• People with the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Anyone with an Enhanced DBS or willing to have one organised.
• Carers who prefer the autonomy of self-employment and the responsibility of live-in support.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Complete your profile, add your references and documents, and PrimeCarers will verify you — profiles typically go live within days of verification. After that you can browse families, agree terms directly and start placements when you’re ready.

If you want clear control over the work you do in Scotland, flexible hours and the chance to live-in where your skills make a real difference, PrimeCarers makes the process simple and secure.
