Typical dementia-support work includes gentle, person-centred care at home: establishing routines, supporting personal care, prompting medication, supervising safety and spending time on activities that help memory and mood. You’ll spend time listening, adapting to each person’s pace and keeping days predictable — small consistencies make a big difference. Many opportunities are available close to Stoneyburn and across West Lothian, including journeys to nearby towns such as Whitburn, Bathgate, Armadale, Blackridge, Livingston and East Calder.

Pay and flexibility matter: carers set their own rates and choose hours that suit them. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£20 per hour. You choose the area you cover and can accept short visits, regular calls or longer blocks of time. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who want more control than traditional agency work. If you value continuity, wish to build trusting relationships with people living with dementia, and prefer planning shifts around your life, this is a practical route to work independently while keeping the human side of care at the centre.

Minimum requirements to join are clear: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), and verifiable references. We do not list one-off jobs here — this page advertises ongoing, self-employed opportunities across Stoneyburn and the surrounding area.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is live, PrimeCarers introduces you to families looking for dementia support and handles the admin so you can focus on care. You remain self-employed and fully in control of the clients and hours you accept.

If you’re based in Stoneyburn or nearby and want a kinder, more predictable way to support people living with dementia, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a straightforward next step. Set your rates, keep the relationships that matter, and work the way that suits you.
