Description

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Macduff and surrounding villages. This role is about patient, consistent support — keeping routines familiar, encouraging independence where possible and helping families keep loved ones safe and comfortable in Macduff rather than moving into care. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

You’ll support clients with day-to-day life: prompting and supporting with personal care, medication reminders, companionship, maintaining routines, simple meal support and working with family members to preserve familiar surroundings. Much of the work values continuity, calm conversation and a steady presence rather than clinical interventions. If you already have experience in dementia care and prefer building ongoing relationships, these opportunities in Aberdeenshire are designed for you.

PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families but you remain self-employed: you choose your clients, set your own rates and select the hours and service area you want. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, and you control how you work day-to-day. PrimeCarers takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a family, so you can focus on care.

Who this suits:

  • Experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and long travel.
  • People who enjoy building steady routines and meaningful relationships with clients.
  • Those who like working locally around Macduff and nearby towns like Banff and Macduff, Banff, Portsoy, Turriff, Cullen and Rosehearty.

Minimum requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help you arrange one). We do not list specific shifts here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Banff, Portsoy and the surrounding parts of Aberdeenshire rather than a single role.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Once your references and ID are verified, profiles typically go live within days and families can start contacting you. You remain in control of who you accept and when you work, and PrimeCarers supports the admin side so you can concentrate on giving consistent, compassionate dementia care in Macduff.
