Description

Support people living with dementia to remain safe and settled at home in Broxburn and across West Lothian. This is for experienced, patient carers who prefer the rhythm of familiar surroundings, gentle routines and relationship-led care rather than rapid shift changes. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you pick the clients you want, the hours you work and the area you cover. Many carers find dementia support suits those who enjoy building daily patterns — small prompts, company for meals, companionship on short walks and consistent comfort of home. You’ll work with families to maintain dignity, manage anxiety and keep everyday life as normal as possible.

What this typically looks like:

  • Practical support: assistance with personal care, medication prompts and safe moving around the home.
  • Routine & familiarity: encouraging familiar activities, simple daily structure and calming approaches when memory causes distress.
  • Companionship: conversation, reminiscence, shared hobbies and supporting social contact.

Pay and flexibility: you set your own rates and work the hours that suit you. Typical rates for this role are £18.50–£20 per hour. You choose between hourly care or live-in arrangements and set the service area around Broxburn and nearby towns such as East Calder, Livingston, Queensferry, Linlithgow, North Queensferry and Vauxhall.

Who this role suits:

  • At least one year of professional care experience, ideally with dementia or long-term health needs.
  • Someone who values routine, patience and gentle communication.
  • Carers thinking of moving away from agency structures who want more control over clients and time.

Joining and practicalities: to register you need the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity across Broxburn and the surrounding area — not a single post. If you’re ready to bring stability, kindness and skilled dementia care to people living at home in Broxburn, create your PrimeCarers profile and start choosing the work that fits your life.
