Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families across Tullibody and Clackmannanshire looking for reliable live-in support. Live-in roles mean you’ll live in the client’s home, supporting day-to-day routines and being on hand around the clock with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and find the continuity of care and deeper relationships highly rewarding. Right now, 7 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
Live-in work suits carers who want consistent hours, more autonomy and a closer working relationship with the person they support. You choose which clients to accept, set your own rates and agree your hours and service area, so you can take placements near Tullibody or further afield towards Menstrie, Alva, Alloa, Clackmannan, Tillicoultry and Dunmore. Typical pay sits in the range £142.50–£160 per day, with day and hourly ranges shown on each client listing (see £18.80–£19.20 per hour and £142.50–£160 per day where applicable).
PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care. We find you clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working on a placement. That means no agency rota churn and less admin: you remain self-employed, in control of your diary and income decisions.
To join you’ll need 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 check documentation quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes and many carers are matched to enquiries shortly after their profile is active.
What to expect day-to-day: supporting personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders within agreed duties, companionship and household help. Live-in shifts include agreed breaks and time off; the exact pattern is settled between you and the family before you accept a placement. We do not list a single role here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed live-in opportunities across Tullibody and nearby towns.
If you’re a seasoned carer ready to leave agency constraints and work more directly with families, PrimeCarers makes the move straightforward. Create your profile, upload checks and references, and choose the clients that fit your values and availability. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Tax is yours to sort out
