Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Airdrie who want to keep loved ones living with dementia at home, surrounded by familiar routines and faces. You’ll work one-to-one supporting daily life: maintaining calm routines, prompting medication, helping with meals, companionship, gentle personal care and practical support that preserves dignity. Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits someone who values patience, consistency and small, meaningful moments. Many families in Airdrie and across North Lanarkshire prefer carers who can stick to a predictable pattern — arriving at a familiar time, using the same cues and keeping activities simple and reassuring. You’ll be helping people remain independent in their own home while building trust over weeks and months.

PrimeCarers is built for carers who want control. You’re self-employed: set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£20 per hour. We find families for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work and we can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not list one specific vacancy here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Airdrie and nearby areas such as Coatbridge, Bellshill, Cumbernauld, Motherwell, Hamilton and Blackridge.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there you can review client requests and accept the ones that fit your skills and schedule. Many carers moving away from agency work find this model gives them clearer boundaries, more predictable routines and better pay control while still getting admin support.

If you’re based in Airdrie and want to focus on dementia care at home, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to work independently without taking on all the back-office tasks. Join other local carers choosing their own hours around family life and other commitments across Airdrie and North Lanarkshire.
