Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Bridgend

Working as a dementia support carer in Bridgend means helping people stay comfortable and calm at home — keeping to familiar routines, using gentle prompts and holding space for their memory and mood. You’ll support everyday tasks, companionship, personal care and community visits where appropriate, always with patience and a focus on continuity for the person you’re supporting. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single post. You’ll choose your own clients, hours and service area across Bridgend and surrounding communities. Typical pay varies by role and arrangement: many carers set rates within £18.80–£22 per hour, with most hourly care falling into £18.80–£22 per hour and live-in day work often quoted in £145–£160 per day. You set your rate and PrimeCarers handles the introductions, contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while you work.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer continuity over shift-based agency work. If you’re someone who values building trust, keeping to routines, using simple memory cues and adapting the home environment to reduce distress, this could be a good fit. You’ll work with people whose needs change slowly — the role rewards observation, calm pacing and clear communication with families.

To join PrimeCarers you’ll need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll be self-employed, free to accept or decline referrals and to set your own hours. PrimeCarers includes insurance while you’re on a placement and takes care of contracts and payment processing so you can focus on caring.

We work across Bridgend and nearby towns including Porthcawl, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Maesteg, Llantrisant and Porth. Applying takes minutes — create your profile, upload checks and references, and once verified profiles typically go live within days. You’ll then receive referrals to consider; accept only the clients that suit your experience and availability.
