Description

Work with older people living with dementia in Cromarty and the surrounding villages, helping them stay at home with routines, familiar faces and the dignity that comes from consistent, patient support. You’ll provide companionship, personal care, mealtime support, medication prompting, mobility assistance and careful observations, all delivered with an emphasis on preserving each person’s identity and daily patterns.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform connecting self-employed carers with families across Cromarty, Invergordon, Fortrose and further afield. As a self-employed carer you choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you set your rates within the typical range of £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care required and your experience. PrimeCarers finds introductions, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on the care.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who prefer the continuity of supporting someone at home rather than short, unfamiliar shifts. You’ll be patient, good at establishing and following routines, and confident working with memory loss—helping to reduce anxiety through consistent approaches and familiar activities. We’re looking for carers who value small things: a favourite cup of tea made the right way, gentle prompts for daily tasks, and a calm presence during moments of confusion.

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. You must be willing to work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Cromarty and nearby towns such as Invergordon, Fortrose, Alness, Nairn, Tain and Dornoch. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Working independently through PrimeCarers means you are in control: accept only the clients and hours that suit you, agree the routines that help your client best, and decide whether you want shorter visits or longer live-in days. Typical hourly rates and live-in day ranges are shown on the platform so you can set fair pricing for the support you provide: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£165 per day.

If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and build trusting, one-to-one relationships in Cromarty, create your PrimeCarers profile today. The sign-up is quick, support is on hand, and you keep the freedom to shape your own care work while PrimeCarers takes care of the admin.
