Dementia Carer Jobs in Bury

Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes across Bury and nearby communities. You’ll help maintain routine and familiar surroundings, using patience, empathy and practical skills to support daily life, companionship and safety. Many carers join PrimeCarers to move away from agency rotas and to offer consistent, relationship-based dementia care in Bury and the surrounding area. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities — not a single post — for experienced carers who want autonomy. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £18.50–£20 per hour. For visiting care, typical rates are £18.50–£20 per hour and for live‑in support the day range is £145–£160 per day.

What the role involves: supporting people with dementia at home often means keeping to familiar routines, encouraging independence with day‑to‑day tasks, reassuring and orienting where needed, managing medication prompts, and working with families to deliver consistent care. Practical tasks may include meal preparation, supporting personal care, light household tasks and safely accompanying clients in the community. You’ll be expected to work with patience, clear communication and an understanding of how dementia can change needs over time.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want continuity with clients rather than short, impersonal calls. If you’re leaving agency work because you want to set your own hours, keep more of your earnings and build stronger relationships, PrimeCarers is designed with you in mind. Many carers who join us cover Bury and nearby towns such as Tottington, Radcliffe, Whitefield, Heywood, Ramsbottom and Prestwich and also take occasional work in Manchester if they choose.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work on our platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create your profile, confirm your references and DBS status, and choose the hours and clients that suit you. You remain self‑employed and fully in control of the way you work. If you want meaningful dementia work in Bury with the backing of a simple platform to handle administration, get started and your profile could be live within days.
