Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Stonehaven who need live-in support. You’ll live in the client’s home and help with daily routines, personal care, medication prompts and companionship — working around the clock with agreed breaks and time off. Right now, 6 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in placements often suit carers who prefer continuity of care and deeper relationships with a single family. Carers travel from across the country to join live-in roles in Stonehaven and surrounding Aberdeenshire towns, and you choose which placements fit your life and skills. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific role.
How pay and working patterns work: you set your own rates and can charge within the local market band. Typical pay for care work here is £145–£160 per day, with details for hourly care shown as £15–£25 per hour and live-in day rates shown as £145–£160 per day. As a self-employed carer you control your hours, agree breaks with the family and decide how long you stay on a placement.
PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles the practical side: client introductions, contracts, invoicing and secure payments. While you are matched and working through PrimeCarers, insurance is included. Many carers find this arrangement gives them the freedom of self-employment without the administrative burden of running every contract alone.
Who this suits: experienced carers ready to move away from agency rotas, those who want meaningful day-to-day involvement with one person or couple, and professionals happy to live in a client’s home. You must have at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
Apply in minutes: creating a profile takes just minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. You choose the areas you want to work in, including Stonehaven and nearby towns such as Red Cloak, Portlethen, Inverbervie, Banchory, Laurencekirk and Westhill. PrimeCarers then shares suitable family introductions and you decide which bookings to accept.
