What the role looks like: you’ll be supporting people in their own homes so they can stay comfortable and familiar surroundings for as long as possible. That usually means gentle prompting, encouraging routines, supporting personal care where needed, helping with meals and mobility, and working closely with families to keep things predictable and safe. This is about patience, observation and small, consistent gestures that make a big difference.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer relationship-based care over high-turnover shifts. If you’re used to working with dementia, can bring calm and structure, and want to develop local, ongoing care arrangements, Ashton Waterloo has regular opportunities that reward continuity and skill.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of work sit around £18.50–£20 per hour, with common reference points shown as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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’ll ask for references that reflect your recent dementia care experience.
