Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Bedale

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed carer supporting people living with dementia at home across Bedale. You’ll help preserve routine, familiar surroundings and dignity — offering patient companionship, help with personal care, prompting medication, light household tasks and meaningful, calm activity tailored to each person. Work tends to be one-to-one and focused on consistency: short visits, longer calls or regular rounds that help someone stay settled in their own home in Bedale and the surrounding area.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Many carers choose this work because it lets them trade rigid rotas for trusted relationships. You set your own rates and availability, and carers on PrimeCarers typically charge within £18.50–£22.70 per hour depending on experience and the support required. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care not paperwork.

This kind of role suits someone with at least a year’s professional care experience who understands how dementia affects memory, communication and behaviour. You’ll bring patience, respect for routine and the ability to adapt activities to what makes a person comfortable. Good carers notice small changes, liaise calmly with families, and leave clear notes after each visit. You’ll be able to choose clients, hours and the area you cover around Bedale and nearby communities such as Masham, Colburn, Northallerton, Middleham, Leyburn and Thirsk.

To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes: complete a profile, upload checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers who want clearer hours, closer relationships and more control while staying within North Yorkshire’s care network.

We’re not advertising a single role here but ongoing self-employed opportunities to work with people living with dementia in their own homes. If you want more meaningful, person-centred work without losing the security of paid invoices and included insurance, create your PrimeCarers profile and start choosing clients who fit the way you work.
