Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Hawick

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Hawick and the surrounding area. You’ll support memory, routine and familiar surroundings—helping with day‑to‑day tasks, companionship, gentle prompting and reassuring presence. PrimeCarers connects experienced self‑employed carers with families who want stability and continuity for loved ones. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This role suits carers who value patience, predictable routines and small, meaningful moments rather than rapid task lists. Many clients prefer familiar faces and quiet, steady support: helping with morning and evening routines, preparing simple meals, supporting mobility, accompanying to appointments, and using calm, reassuring approaches to distress or confusion. You’ll often work in private homes in Hawick, and nearby towns including Selkirk, Jedburgh, Newtown St Boswells, Melrose, Galashiels and Earlston; the Scottish Borders has a strong need for carers who can offer continuity.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates sit around £15–£25 per hour; many carers use £15–£25 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work—so you can concentrate on care, not paperwork.

To join you’ll need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes—create a profile, upload your references and DBS, then choose the clients and shifts that fit your life in Hawick or elsewhere in the Scottish Borders.

PrimeCarers is aimed at experienced carers who may be thinking about leaving agency work for more control and predictable relationships. You remain self‑employed: you decide how many hours to accept, which households to work with and the area you cover. Families contact you through the platform and PrimeCarers supports the contracting and payment process to keep things simple and transparent.

If you care about dignified, patient dementia support at home and want more control over your work, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step. It takes minutes to apply, and we’ll guide you through verification so you can start connecting with families across Hawick and the wider Scottish Borders within days.
