Live-in Care Assistant Jobs in Woodhaven

Live-in care in Woodhaven means living with a client in their home to support day-to-day life and night-time needs, with agreed breaks and time off. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for experienced carers who want more control over who they work with and how they work. Right now, 7 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.

As a live-in carer you’ll help with routines such as personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, companionship, mobility support and light household tasks. Many placements are with people who prefer consistent, familiar support at home rather than visiting care. Live-in roles often suit experienced carers who can work independently, build rapport quickly and manage a client's day-to-day routine while following agreed care plans. Carers travel from across the country for live-in placements, so you don’t have to live in Woodhaven to apply.

PrimeCarers works with self-employed carers who set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. You’ll typically see roles advertised around £145–£160 per day and there are different ways to charge — hourly, day rates or agreed weekly arrangements — depending on the placement. Many carers use £15–£25 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for full live-in day rates where applicable.

We handle the admin so you can focus on care. PrimeCarers finds clients, draws up contracts, manages invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement. That means you keep the freedom of self-employment but don’t have to chase paperwork or invoicing for each placement.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents and references quickly; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

These opportunities are ideal if you’re looking to move away from agency rotas, want more predictable time with one person, or prefer living and working in a quieter area of Fife. Many of our carers who work near Woodhaven also take placements around Newport on Tay, Wormit, Tayport, Leuchars, Monifieth and Cupar and beyond.
