Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Tayport

Live-in care in Tayport means living with a client in their home and supporting daily routines around the clock with agreed breaks. You’ll provide personal care, companionship and practical help with meals, medications and mobility while respecting the householder’s independence. Many carers travel from across the country for short- and long-term live-in placements, staying in the client’s home and working as part of their everyday life.

Right now, 6 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

This role suits experienced, practical carers who prefer steady, close working relationships rather than shift-by-shift work. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency routines, being self-employed through PrimeCarers lets you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. You set your own rates (typical pay is £145–£160 per day) and accept the bookings that fit your life.

PrimeCarers makes the practical side straightforward: we find clients, draft contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working on a placement. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Live-in placements around Tayport often serve families in nearby areas such as Newport on Tay, Woodhaven, Monifieth, Wormit, Leuchars and Carnoustie, and across Fife and beyond.

Typical live-in duties include helping with personal care, prompting or administering medication in line with the client’s plan, preparing meals, supporting mobility and continence, helping with light household tasks and offering social contact. You’ll agree regular breaks and rest periods as part of the placement, and arrangements vary by household.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Reliable, organised carers comfortable with living in someone else’s home for the agreed period.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active you can set your availability, update your service area and begin matching with families looking for live-in care around Tayport. You remain self-employed: you choose the clients you want to accept and the hours you’ll work.
