Description
Work with people living with dementia in Rosehearty and the nearby coast, providing patient, routine-led support that helps them stay safe and settled at home. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients, the hours and your service area — and you set your own rates. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
What the work looks like: you’ll focus on home-based dementia support that values familiarity, predictable routines and small meaningful moments. Typical tasks include gently supporting daily routines, prompting meals and hydration, providing companionship, supporting mobility and personal care as agreed, and working with families to maintain a calm, familiar environment. You’ll often work alongside family members to preserve routine and independence rather than replacing them.
This kind of role suits experienced carers who prefer continuity over shift-to-shift changes: people who want to build trust, learn life history, and support memory through consistency. Many carers who join PrimeCarers are leaving agency shift work for more predictable, relationship-centred care in Rosehearty and across Aberdeenshire.
- Typical pay: many carers on the platform set rates within £15–£25 per hour; you’re free to set the rate that reflects your skills and experience, including within the £15–£25 per hour and for any live-in work within £145–£160 per day.
- Work pattern: choose regular calls, longer visits or live-in days, and accept only the clients and hours that suit you.
- Location: work locally in Rosehearty and nearby towns such as Fraserburgh, Maud, Banff and Macduff, Macduff, Banff and Turriff — keep travel practical and predictable.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documentation quickly so your profile can go live within days once checks are completed. Applying takes minutes.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and insurance is included while you work with a client through the platform. That means less admin and more time doing the care that matters, whether you want regular shifts in Rosehearty or to cover a wider patch in Aberdeenshire.
If you’re an experienced carer who wants to prioritise routine, patience and continuity for people living with dementia, create a profile and start choosing the work that fits your life. It takes minutes to apply and profiles usually go live within days of verification.

Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
