Dementia Carer Jobs in Rutherglen

If you’re an experienced carer who values patience, routine and familiar surroundings, supporting people with dementia at home in Rutherglen could be the right move for you. Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families across Rutherglen and nearby areas such as East Kilbride, Barrhead, Hamilton, Bellshill, Bearsden and Coatbridge and around Glasgow. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes — keeping to consistent routines, encouraging meaningful activity, managing medication prompts, and offering calm, respectful companionship. Work often involves short visits, longer companionship shifts or live-in support where continuity and relationships matter most.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific role. Carers using PrimeCarers set their own rates (typical ranges are £18.80–£20 per hour), choose which clients to work with, and decide their own hours and service area. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown on profiles as £18.80–£20 per hour and £142.50–£160 per day to help families find the right match.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of the paperwork: contracts, invoicing and payments are handled through the platform, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on care rather than admin. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers with at least a year of professional care experience.
• People comfortable working in someone’s home and building trusting, steady relationships.
• Carers who want flexibility — choose clients, hours and the neighbourhoods you serve in and around Rutherglen and Glasgow.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You remain self-employed and set your own rates, so you keep control of how you work.

How to apply: create your profile, add your experience and references, and submit your DBS if you already have one or let us support you to get one. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, families can view your profile and contact you directly through the platform.

If you’re ready to deliver patient, routine-led dementia care in Rutherglen — staying local, supporting people at home, and keeping control over your working life — PrimeCarers can help you find the right clients without the usual agency admin.
