Description
Support people living with dementia in their own homes across Borrowstounness and the surrounding Falkirk area. This role is about patience, established routines and keeping days familiar for the people you care for — helping with personal care, companionship, mealtime support and day‑to‑day prompts so clients can stay safe and comfortable at home. You’ll work with families and households who value continuity of care and the dignity that comes from familiar faces.
Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing, self‑employed opportunity rather than a single placement. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for dementia support roles sits in the range £18.80–£20 per hour; many carers advertise within £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care or £144–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. You decide which jobs to accept and when to work.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working. That means less time chasing payments and more time giving consistent, relationship‑based support to people in Borrowstounness.
Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer steady, relationship‑led work and want to keep people in familiar surroundings rather than moving them into institutions. You’ll need to be patient, organised and comfortable building routines and simple activity plans with families. Good communication with relatives and the ability to follow personalised care notes are essential.
Minimum requirements to join are clear: 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. The sign‑up process takes just minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification — after that you can begin matching with families in Borrowstounness and nearby areas including Boness, Linlithgow, Grangemouth, Kincardine, Grahamston and Dunfermline.
Applying is straightforward. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and choose your availability. Once verified you can start browsing local care opportunities and connect directly with families who need dementia support in Borrowstounness and the wider Falkirk area. If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and want more control over your work and client relationships, PrimeCarers makes the switch simple and practical.
