Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Vauxhall

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Vauxhall who need live-in support. Live-in care means you live with a client in their home and support daily routines around the clock, with agreed breaks. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements and can choose the length and location of each booking to suit their life. Right now, 9 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit carers who want more control than agency work: you set your own rates, choose clients, agree hours and map your service area. Typical rates for similar roles sit around £145–£160 per day, and you’ll find placements with a range of day and hourly expectations — see £18.80–£19.20 per hour for short visits and £145–£160 per day for full live-in days. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline offers that don’t fit.

What the role involves: living in the client’s home, helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship and keeping routines comfortable and safe. You’ll work closely with the family and PrimeCarers to agree visits, overnight cover and scheduled breaks so you can rest. The nature of live-in work requires patience, good observation and the ability to manage practical household needs alongside personal care.

Who this suits: experienced carers who value flexibility, privacy and a closer relationship with the people they support. Many applicants are tired of fixed agency rotas and want predictable, longer placements around Vauxhall and nearby towns such as Queensferry, Broxburn, Loanhead, East Calder, Penicuik and North Queensferry. We also place carers across Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.

PrimeCarers handles the admin: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include public liability and professional indemnity insurance while you’re on an assignment. You’ll keep control of your working pattern and set the terms that work for you.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
