Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Brixham

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed dementia support carer in Brixham and help people stay at home with the routines and familiar faces that matter. This role is about patient, consistent support — keeping days predictable, using gentle prompts and companionship to reduce anxiety, and helping clients live safely in the place they know best. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties include supporting daily routines, prompting medication and meals, providing personal care where needed, encouraging gentle activities and memory-support strategies, and working calmly during changes in behaviour. You will spend most care time in clients' homes, helping maintain familiar surroundings and small routines that make a big difference. Many carers find this work deeply rewarding if they value patience, observation and continuity of care.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you work with and decide your hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£23 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less paperwork and more time with people who need consistent dementia support.

This is an ongoing opportunity across Brixham and surrounding parts of Devon. You might accept calls in town or travel a little further to nearby communities such as Paignton, Dartmouth, Torquay, Totnes, Newton Abbot and Teignmouth depending on your chosen service area. This is not a single advertised post but an invitation to join a roster of local families looking for reliable, experienced carers.

To join we require 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. You’ll need to demonstrate experience supporting people with dementia or similar long-term care needs. We’re looking for people who prefer building ongoing relationships rather than short-term shifts.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live you can review matches, set your terms and accept work that fits your life. If you’re ready to move away from agency clocks and want to deliver consistent, person-centred dementia care in Brixham, this could be the right step for you.
