On PrimeCarers you’ll work directly with families to provide companionship, personal care, medication prompts, and support with daily routines tailored to each person’s needs. Much of the work focuses on maintaining calm, predictable days: gentle prompting for meals and medication, helping with walking and mobility around the home, supporting meaningful activities, and using reassurance and routine to reduce distress. Families often look for carers who bring patience, consistency and practical strategies to help someone with memory loss stay safe and comfortable at home in Lochmaben and the wider Dumfries and Galloway area.

This approach suits experienced carers who value continuity over shift-churn — people who prefer building rapport, keeping to routines and helping clients stay in familiar surroundings rather than frequent, fragmented visits. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can reflect your skills in dementia care when agreeing rates with families. Typical ranges are flexible and depend on the care required; most carers charge within £15–£25 per hour.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work on assignments arranged through the platform. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
