Dementia Carer Jobs in Accrington

Working with people living with dementia in their own home takes patience, respect and a steady routine. In Accrington and across Lancashire, families are looking for carers who can offer calm companionship, day-to-day practical support and continuity so a familiar place stays familiar. Right now, 15 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is not one fixed post — it is ongoing self-employed work supporting people in their own houses, often helping with gentle personal care, prompting medication, keeping to routines, meaningful activity and being a steady, reassuring presence. The right approach is as important as any checklist: patience, clear communication and the ability to adapt to a changing day are what make the difference.

These roles suit experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. On PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area, and set the rate that reflects your skills and experience. We connect carers across Accrington and Oswaldtwistle, Clayton le Moors, Great Harwood, Padiham, Haslingden and Rawtenstall so you can work close to home or expand where you want to. Many carers keep regular daytime calls, split shifts or longer visits to maintain routines — you pick what fits your life.

Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates. Typical roles sit around £18.50–£20 per hour, and you decide what to charge based on your experience and the support required. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join we ask for a minimum of one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You will remain self-employed, choosing who to accept and when to work.
