Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Dunfermline

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Dunfermline and surrounding areas, providing calm, routine-based support that helps them stay comfortable and familiar in the place they know best. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities — you set your hours and choose the clients you work with, and typical rates fall around £18.80–£20 per hour. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The role focuses on keeping life steady for someone with dementia: supporting their daily routine, offering companionship, prompting medication, helping with personal care when needed, and encouraging meaningful activity in a patient, respectful way. You’ll often be the familiar face who notices small changes, keeps to familiar routines and works closely with family to maintain consistency. Many carers find this work deeply rewarding because you can build continuity and trust over time rather than moving from shift to shift.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who prefer working independently and who want more control than typical agency setups. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, can provide verifiable references and have the right to work in the UK, you’re eligible to join. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it.

As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer based in Dunfermline or elsewhere in Fife, you choose your clients, the hours you accept and the area you serve. PrimeCarers finds suitable clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. That means less admin for you and more time spent caring. Typical pay for dementia care roles varies with experience and the nature of the support (see £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £140–£160 per day for live‑in day rates as a guide), but on PrimeCarers you set your own rates.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll be able to review any match before accepting, so you decide which families and shift patterns fit your approach. Whether you work across central Dunfermline or prefer nearby towns such as Rosyth, Inverkeithing, Dalgety Bay, North Queensferry, Kelty and Cowdenbeath, you can build a caseload that suits your life and your professional strengths.
