If you have at least one year of professional care experience and a passion for supporting people living with dementia, PrimeCarers offers a flexible way to work in and around Atherton. Our platform connects self-employed carers directly with families who need patient, routine-based care in familiar surroundings. This role is ideal for carers who value building meaningful relationships and supporting people with dementia to live well at home.

Working through PrimeCarers means you choose your own clients, hours, and service area, which can include nearby towns such as Tyldsley, Lee Bank, Westhoughton, Leigh, Hindley and Walkden. You set your own rates within a typical range of £18.50–£20 per hour, allowing you to reflect your skills and experience. Whether you prefer day visits or live-in care, there are opportunities to suit your lifestyle and availability.

As a dementia support carer, your work involves helping clients maintain routines that bring comfort and reduce confusion. This includes gentle encouragement, companionship, and practical support with daily activities in the client’s own home. Your patience and understanding are key to creating a calm and familiar environment that helps clients feel secure.

PrimeCarers handles all the administrative tasks for you, including finding clients, managing contracts, invoicing, and payments. Insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on what you do best – caring.

If you don’t have an Enhanced DBS check, we can assist you in arranging one.

Applying is straightforward and takes just minutes.
