Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Thurso

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed dementia support carer in Thurso and help people stay safe and comfortable in their own homes. This role is about patient, routine-led care: keeping familiar days, gentle prompts, meaningful companionship and consistent tasks that reduce anxiety for someone living with dementia. You will support practical needs such as personal care, medication prompts, light household tasks and being a reassuring, steady presence through changes in mood or memory.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Work with families across Thurso and the surrounding area, including Wick, Kirkwall, Brora, Dornoch, Tain and Lossiemouth. You choose who you work with, which hours you accept and the area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, so you can reflect your experience and the specialist nature of dementia work when you price your service. Typical pay for these roles sits in the region of £15–£25 per hour depending on the assignment and your chosen rate.

This kind of support suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and relationship-based work. Families often want the same carer visiting at predictable times so routines are preserved. If you enjoy building trust, keeping to familiar patterns and adapting activities to the person’s past life and capabilities, this work will suit you.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and we provide insurance while you are working through the platform. That means you can focus on the care while we manage the admin that often weighs down self-employed carers.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise one single role here; this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities across Thurso and nearby towns.

Applying takes minutes. Once your ID and references are verified, profiles typically go live within days and families can begin to contact you.
