Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in and around Newport on Tay who want dementia support at home. Work that focuses on patience, predictable routines and familiar surroundings helps people living with dementia stay safe and calm in the place they know best. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Your day-to-day will centre on supporting someone to remain at home: keeping to a gentle routine, offering companionship, prompting medication, supporting personal care where needed and helping with light household tasks that keep home life familiar. Dementia care often rewards small, consistent actions — being present, steady and calm can make the biggest difference.

This type of work suits carers who bring at least a year of professional care experience and who value continuity and relationship-based support. Many carers joining PrimeCarers in Newport on Tay choose to move away from agency rotas and set their own terms: you set your own rates (typical range £19.20–£20 per hour), choose the hours that fit your life and pick the clients and service area you want to work in.

PrimeCarers manages the client introductions and handles contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, with insurance included while you work. To join you’ll need the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t yet have one. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Many carers based in Newport on Tay also find opportunities locally and across nearby towns such as Woodhaven, Wormit, Tayport, Leuchars, Monifieth and Cupar. We support carers across Fife and the Tay region who prefer visiting the same people regularly rather than rotating between lots of short shifts.

You can be matched with families seeking long-term, consistent support and decide whether to accept any introductions.
