Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Greenlaw

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Greenlaw who need patient, routine‑based support for people living with dementia at home. You’ll help maintain familiar surroundings, encourage independence where possible and work at a pace that suits each person. We advertise ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than one specific role. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Typical jobs involve companionship, support with personal care, prompting medication, assisting with daily routines and liaising with families to keep things consistent. Many families prefer carers who understand how routine, gentle prompting and a calm presence help people with dementia stay comfortable in their own homes. You’ll often be working in private houses across Greenlaw and nearby communities such as Duns, Kelso, Coldstream, Earlston, Lauder and Newtown St Boswells.

Pay and hours are flexible: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates within the local range and choose the clients and hours they accept. Typical rates for this kind of role are £15–£25 per hour. Hourly and live‑in ranges are shown on your profile to help families understand your offer: £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £144–£160 per day for live‑in day rates.

PrimeCarers makes the paperwork easier so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That administrative support is available across the Scottish Borders and in and around Greenlaw so you can spend more time with people who need your skills.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience and a calm, patient way of working with people living with dementia, you’ll fit well. We welcome carers who value routine, gentle reassurance and person‑centred approaches. You’ll need the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your ID and references, and our team will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self‑employed, pick the jobs you want and decide your service area within Greenlaw and neighbouring towns.
