Description

If you have experience supporting people living with dementia at home, PrimeCarers can help you find ongoing, self-employed work throughout Moffat that keeps people in familiar surroundings and routines. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These roles focus on patient, person-centred support: keeping and adapting daily routines, offering calm companionship, helping with meal times and practical tasks, prompting medication and appointments, and assisting with personal care where needed and agreed. Work is delivered in people’s own homes across Moffat and nearby areas in Dumfries and Galloway.

This work suits carers who value continuity and relationships. If you’re used to building trust slowly, keeping to familiar patterns, and using gentle prompts rather than rushed tasks, you’ll find dementia support rewarding. Many carers who choose PrimeCarers are experienced professionals thinking about leaving agency work because they want more control over who they support and how they work in Moffat.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and select the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. Typical pay for roles like this is around £15–£25 per hour. For day shifts you’ll commonly see £15–£25 per hour and for live-in support £145–£160 per day. We don’t promise specific income — you decide your availability and rates.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, and PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS check if you need one. You remain self-employed, choosing the bookings that suit you and working with families in and around Moffat.

  • Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience;
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this);
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references;
  • A patient, routine-focused approach to dementia care.

Applying takes minutes and many profiles go live within days of verification. We list opportunities across Moffat and the surrounding towns — Lochmaben, Thornhill, Lockerbie, Newbridge Drive, Sanquhar and Dumfries — and across Dumfries and Galloway, so you can work close to home or broaden the area you cover.
