Dementia Carer Jobs in Carlton Colville

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes around Carlton Colville, helping them keep routines, familiar surroundings and dignity. You'd support day-to-day life — companionship, personal care, prompting and following familiar routines — using patience, observation and gentle reassurance. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity through PrimeCarers, not a single role. Carers set their own hours and choose their clients, service area and rates. Many carers working with dementia aim for consistency: regular short visits, longer companionship calls or live-in support. Typical rates for roles advertised here are £19.50–£22 per hour. You remain self-employed and free to accept only the work that fits your skills and life in Carlton Colville and across Suffolk.

What the work involves

• Routine and familiarity: encouraging familiar activities, meal routines and day structure to reduce confusion and anxiety.
• Companionship and observation: spending time, noticing subtle changes and feeding back clearly to families or other professionals.
• Practical support: personal care, medication prompts, light household tasks and safe mobility assistance where you’re comfortable.

Who this suits

• Carers with patience, calm presence and at least a year’s professional care experience.
• People who prefer working in clients’ homes and value building long-term relationships — ideal if you’re thinking of leaving agency work for more control.
• Those who want to work locally in Carlton Colville and nearby towns such as Lowestoft, Beccles, Gorleston, Southwold, Yarmouth and Great Yarmouth.

Practical points

• PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.
• Carers on the platform are self-employed and set their own rates; many dementia care roles here fall within £19.50–£22 per hour.
• Requirements to join: a minimum of 1 year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Applying only takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
