Dementia Carer Jobs in Biggar

PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families in Biggar and the surrounding area who need respectful, patient dementia support at home. Work that focuses on maintaining familiar routines, reducing confusion and supporting independence is at the heart of these roles. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What this work looks like: you’ll support people living with dementia in their own homes — helping with day-to-day routines, companionship, personal care when needed and using gentle approaches that respect memory loss. The aim is to keep people comfortable in familiar surroundings, follow steady routines and work at a calm, unhurried pace. Many families prefer carers who can build continuity and trust rather than rotating staff.

Who this suits: experienced care professionals who value meaningful one-to-one work, patience and consistency. It’s ideal if you already know how to adapt activities, spot early changes in wellbeing and keep clear notes for families. If you’re thinking of leaving agency work, Biggar offers a close-knit community feel and opportunities across South Lanarkshire and nearby towns such as Lanark, Peebles, Carluke, Stoneyburn, Innerleithen and Whitburn.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of dementia support sit around £19.50–£21.30 per hour. PrimeCarers finds matches and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Requirements to join: you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single role here; these are ongoing opportunities across Biggar and South Lanarkshire for self-employed carers who meet the checks.

How to apply: the sign-up takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. When a family wants to arrange an introduction, PrimeCarers will put you in touch and support the contract and payment process so you can focus on caring.
