Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Appley

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Appley and the surrounding parts of Lancashire. These roles suit carers who value patience, consistent routines and helping someone keep the familiar small things that matter — morning prompts, gentle companionship, supporting daily tasks and spotting subtle changes in wellbeing. You’ll be working as a self-employed carer, choosing who you support and when, while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while you work.

Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work is about building trust. You’ll support clients with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, light household tasks and socially stimulating activities that fit each person’s history and preferences. Maintaining routine, respecting familiar surroundings and working calmly through distress or confusion are central. Shifts vary because each household is different — some clients want regular daytime visits, others prefer longer, familiar support. This listing advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hourly rate and service choices, often reflecting experience, qualifications and the complexity of care. Typical roles in the area fall within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on whether you do hourly or live-in support. You also decide your hours and how far you’ll travel to work; many carers in Appley choose clients close to home but you can cover nearby towns such as Newburgh, Skelmersdale, Wigan, Adlington, Ince in Makerfield and Blackrod when you like.

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 one) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers helps with matching, contracts and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re working with a booked client through the platform.

Applying takes minutes: build a profile, upload or request checks and references, then wait for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification and you can begin choosing clients straight away. If you’re an experienced carer wanting more control over your work in Appley and around Lancashire, this is a practical way to move away from agency constraints while keeping paid, contract-backed work.
