Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Banff

Work with people living with dementia in Banff and help them stay safe, calm and familiar at home. You will support daily routines, encourage memory-friendly activities and provide patient, consistent companionship so clients can remain in the place they know best. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing, self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who prefer one-to-one work and value continuity of care. You decide who you work for, when you work and which neighbourhoods of Banff and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates — typical pay falls in the range £15–£25 per hour — and can choose hourly or live-in assignments where available.

PrimeCarers handles the searching, client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. While you are working with a matched client, insurance is included. You still remain self-employed and keep control of your diary, hourly charge and how many clients you take on.

What the role usually involves

• Building trust through routine, reassurance and familiar activities;
• Supporting personal care, mealtimes and medication prompts as agreed with the family;
• Encouraging meaningful, gentle activities that suit memory and mood;
• Keeping clear notes and communicating changes to family members.

Who this suits

Experienced carers who have patience, strong observation skills and respect for people’s preferences. This is good for practitioners leaving agency work who want predictable relationships with families and the autonomy to set their own hours across Banff, Macduff and nearby towns like Macduff, Banff and Macduff, Portsoy, Turriff, Cullen and Rosehearty.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience caring for adults;
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this);
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you already work in Banff or elsewhere in Aberdeenshire and want to focus on dementia support at home, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a simple next step.
