Dementia Carer Jobs in Prestwick

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Prestwick and across South Ayrshire who want to keep loved ones living with dementia at home. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for carers who prefer supporting people in familiar surroundings, using patience, routine and small, consistent teams of support.
Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves non-medical personal care, companionship, supporting daily routines, prompting medication, meal support, mobility assistance and calmly managing changes in mood or memory. In Prestwick you’ll often be helping people remain in a home they know, preserving daily rituals and reassuring continuity — that steady presence can make a huge difference.

This role suits experienced carers who already have a calm, patient approach to dementia: you know how to follow routines, use reminiscence and simple cues, and adapt activities to the person’s abilities. If you’re thinking of leaving agency work to have more control over who you support and when, PrimeCarers lets you choose your clients, hours and service area while working self-employed.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for dementia care in the area appear as £18.80–£20 per hour; you can also display £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care or £140.50–£160 per day for live-in day work on your profile. You pick the hours and neighbourhoods you want to work in — from Prestwick out towards Ayr, Troon, Irvine, Kilmarnock, Maybole and Kilwinning — and PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform.

Requirements to join are straightforward and practical:

• 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

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload references and checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers then introduces you to families seeking dementia care in Prestwick and the surrounding parts of South Ayrshire. You remain self-employed, free to accept only the clients that fit your skills and availability.
