Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Livingston

Provide calm, patient dementia support in people’s own homes across Livingston. This role is about preserving routine, dignity and familiar surroundings — helping clients stay safe and comfortable while supporting daily living, companionship and consistent, gentle care. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical work includes supporting established routines, prompting and assisting with personal care, mealtimes, medication prompts, meaningful activity and reassurance when memory or orientation is unsettled. You’ll work with people who benefit from patience, clear communication and small, predictable steps rather than rushed or unfamiliar approaches. Much of the work takes place in the family home in Livingston and nearby communities such as East Calder, Broxburn, Bathgate, Linlithgow, Stoneyburn and Whitburn where continuity and local knowledge make a real difference.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity: you set your own hours, choose which clients to work with and manage the area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and keep control of their work — typical rates for this kind of role sit around £18.80–£21.30 per hour depending on the support needed and your experience. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care rather than administration.

We’re looking for experienced carers who prefer building relationships and working with people in their own homes across West Lothian. You’ll be a good fit if you have at least a year’s professional care experience, patience for changing needs, and enjoy creating reassuring routines. The practical requirements are:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

If you’re used to agency shifts and want more control over who you work for and when, PrimeCarers is a straightforward alternative for carers in Livingston and across West Lothian. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be matched to local families quickly while keeping the independence of self-employed work.

Join a local network of carers who value steady relationships, practical support and the chance to help people living with dementia remain at home with dignity and routine.
