Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Rothesay

Help people living with dementia stay safe, calm and at home in Rothesay. This role is for carers who prefer the gentle, patient work of supporting memory, routine and familiar surroundings — helping with daily routines, companionship, simple activities and reassuring presence. You’ll work one-to-one with families who want dignified, consistent care in the home rather than moving a loved one into care.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These opportunities are ongoing and self-employed. You choose your clients, the area you cover and the hours you offer across Rothesay and nearby communities. Many carers work mornings, afternoons or a mixture of calls to keep routine for people with dementia; others provide longer weekend or evening companionship. You set your own rates and availability through the platform.

Pay is flexible — you set your own fee and can reference typical ranges when you create your profile (typical rates: £18.80–£19.20 per hour). For guidance on common pay levels see: hourly care £18.80–£19.20 per hour and live-in days £145–£160 per day.

What the work looks like:

• Supporting daily routines (meals, medication prompts, light domestic support).
• Providing calm companionship, reminiscence and meaningful activity tailored to the person.
• Helping people stay connected to their local life in Rothesay — short walks, listening to music, maintaining normal rhythms.
• Working alongside family members to keep care consistent and familiar.

Who this suits: experienced carers who value continuity over shift‑driven rotas, who can be patient, flexible and steady under change. If you are tired of agency paperwork and want more control over your working life in Rothesay or elsewhere in North Ayshire, this could suit you.

What PrimeCarers handles: we find clients and manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Apply in minutes — creating a profile takes only a short time and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can accept or decline matches, keep the clients and hours that fit your life, and work near Rothesay or in neighbouring towns such as Largs, Dunoon, Gourock, Greenock, Helensburgh and Saltcoats.
