Description
Are you an experienced carer who understands the patience, routine and small, familiar comforts that help someone living with dementia stay well at home? In Monifieth we connect professional, self-employed carers with families who want consistent, person-centred support so clients can remain in the surroundings they know and love.
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically involves supporting people with day-to-day routines: companionship, prompting medications, helping with personal care when needed, encouraging meaningful activity and keeping to familiar patterns that reduce distress. Much of this role is about calm, steady presence — knowing when to listen, when to gently reorient and when to keep to a trusted routine. You will be working in clients' homes across Monifieth and nearby communities, helping families who value continuity and respect for the person with dementia.
This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity rather than one specific post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own charges and pick clients to match their skills and availability. Typical roles fall within £19.50–£20 per hour, and you can choose single short calls, regular visits or longer shifts including live-in days where offered.
Who this suits: experienced care professionals who prefer autonomy over agency rosters, who value building long-term relationships, and who can work with patience and steady routines. If you live in Monifieth, work across Angus or travel to nearby towns such as Tayport, Carnoustie, Newport on Tay, Woodhaven, Leuchars and Wormit, you can define your own service area and hours.
Joining needs a minimum of 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. We do not advertise a single placement here — instead we introduce you to families looking for carers with dementia experience and help you manage the practical side so you can focus on care.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. To apply, create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and choose the kinds of visits you prefer. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any bookings that suit your schedule.
If you want to continue doing really good dementia care but with more control over when, where and for whom you work, setting up with PrimeCarers in Monifieth could be the change you need. Profiles usually go live within days of verification and many carers find steady clients across Monifieth, Tayport and surrounding Angus communities.
