Description
Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Boness and nearby neighbourhoods. This role suits carers who value patience, gentle routines and familiar surroundings — helping clients stay settled, engaged and safe while keeping daily life as normal as possible. You’ll use observation, calm reassurance and consistent structure to support memory, orientation and wellbeing.
Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for experienced care workers in Boness and the surrounding area, including Borrowstounness, Linlithgow, Grangemouth, Kincardine, Grahamston and Dunfermline. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the service area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates (typical ranges are shown), and many find a better work–life balance than with agency shifts. Typical pay examples: £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly visits and £144–£160 per day for live-in day rates.
Day-to-day you might:
- support a regular routine: morning care, meals, medication reminders and evening wind-down
- use person-centred approaches to reduce distress and maintain dignity
- encourage meaningful activity and supervised mobility within the home
- keep clear records and communicate changes to family contacts
This work suits you if you have patience, a calm manner, and at least one year of professional care experience. You must have the right to work in the UK, be able to provide verifiable references, and hold an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this). We do not offer one-off placements here: these are ongoing self-employed roles across Boness and Falkirk where you build regular relationships with the people you support.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on care while keeping control over your rates and diary. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
If you’re ready to move away from agency routines and take control of your work in Boness, register your profile with PrimeCarers today. We’ll verify references and paperwork, then help match you to families who need reliable dementia support.
