Dementia Carer Jobs in Peebles

Join PrimeCarers to support people living with dementia in Peebles and nearby towns. You’ll work with clients in their own homes, helping them stay comfortable in familiar surroundings through patient, routine-based care. This role suits experienced, compassionate carers who prefer one-to-one support rather than agency shift patterns. You are self-employed, set your own rates and decide which clients, hours and service area suit you.

Typical pay falls in the range £18.80–£19 per hour. For more detail you may see £18.80–£19 per hour for hourly care and £142.50–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on good care. Insurance is included while you work on assignments arranged through the platform.

What the work looks like: supporting clients with memory loss, maintaining calming routines, encouraging independence with tasks like personal care, mealtimes, light household support and meaningful companionship. You’ll use patience, clear communication and safe approaches to reduce confusion and distress. Many families prefer steady, familiar faces; you’ll often build long-term relationships rather than rotating shifts.

This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity in and around Peebles — you might cover parts of the Scottish Borders and neighbouring communities such as Innerleithen, Penicuik, Biggar, Galashiels, Loanhead and Selkirk. You choose when and where you work, and can balance this alongside other commitments.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do check eligibility and references before profiles go live. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically appear within days of verification.

Why carers moving from agency work choose PrimeCarers: more control over hours and clients, clearer contracts and faster, more reliable payments. PrimeCarers supports you with client matching, administration and insurance while you focus on delivering calm, consistent dementia care in Peebles homes.
