Dementia Carer Jobs in Ashburton

If you want to support people living with dementia to stay at home in Ashburton and nearby, this is for you. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers who prefer the consistency of familiar surroundings, predictable routines and patient, person-centred support with families looking for ongoing help. You set your own approach and care hours while working closely with each family to keep daily life calm and safe. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Working with people living with dementia is about small, steady things: keeping to routines, encouraging independence, supporting washing and dressing, prompting medication, and offering meaningful companionship. You’ll often focus on staying patient, adapting communication, noticing changes in behaviour and helping families maintain a homely environment rather than moving someone into unfamiliar care. This role suits experienced carers who value continuity and who prefer working one-to-one in someone’s own home in Ashburton and across Devon.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for this role are £18.80–£24.50 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That administrative support makes it easier to focus on care instead of paperwork.

• Who we’re looking for: At least one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this.
• How flexible it is: Choose morning, evening, live-in or short visits within the area you want to work. You control your calendar and accept only the clients and hours that fit your life.
• Where you’ll work: Most opportunities are in Ashburton and surrounding communities such as Buckfastleigh, Newton Abbot, Totnes, Bovey Tracey, Kingsteignton and Chudleigh; you can limit your service area to what you prefer.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers then introduces you to families seeking ongoing dementia support — you decide whether to accept each match. There is no single advertised role here, only ongoing independent opportunities to work with people who want to remain at home.

If you’re tired of agency shifts and want to build trusting, long-term relationships while retaining control over your work and pay, creating a profile is the next step. Join other carers in Ashburton who value steady, respectful dementia care in familiar homes across Devon.
