Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Batley

Supporting someone with dementia at home is about patience, routine and keeping life familiar. As a self-employed dementia support carer on PrimeCarers you’ll help people stay safe and comfortable in their own homes across Batley and nearby areas, focusing on companionship, daily routines, memory prompts and sensitive personal care where needed. You choose the hours, clients and service area, and you set your own rates to reflect your skills and experience.

Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically includes gentle prompting with daily routines, supporting mealtimes, medication prompts when required, reassuring companionship, short activity plans and prompt-based personal care. Many families prefer familiar faces who bring calm and consistency — that means patience, good listening, clear record-keeping and an understanding of how routines and environment affect someone living with dementia.

This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity across Batley and surrounding West Yorkshire towns such as Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, Morley, Cleckheaton, Ossett and Mirfield. Carers on PrimeCarers are free to accept one-off visits, regular shifts or longer day and live-in support. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the role and your experience. You set your own hourly rates within that range and can also offer live-in day rates where needed.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. We also include insurance for the time you are working through the platform, and we handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on delivering consistent, person-centred care.

If you’re used to agency work but want more control over who you support and when, PrimeCarers lets you build a profile quickly and choose the assignments that suit you. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. There is no single advertised job here — we introduce you to families looking for ongoing dementia support so you can decide which roles fit your skills and availability.

If you live in Batley or nearby and already have dementia care experience, this is a practical way to move to self-employed work while keeping the support you need from a platform that handles the paperwork. Create your profile, set your rates and start choosing clients who value continuity, patience and familiarity.
