Dementia Carer Jobs in Castle Cary

Work as a self-employed dementia carer supporting people to stay safe, calm and known in their own homes around Castle Cary. This work is about patience, consistent routines and helping people remain in familiar surroundings — whether that's prompting daily tasks, offering companionship or supporting personal care with respect and dignity.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing work for carers who prefer continuity: regular visits, repeating routines and building trust over weeks and months. If you've been doing agency shifts and want to choose who you work with, when you work and how you charge, PrimeCarers gives you that control. Typical rates for these roles are £20–£23 per hour and many carers decide their own hourly rate to reflect experience and responsibilities.

Who this suits: experienced, patient carers with at least one year of professional care experience who enjoy working in people’s homes and can support someone living with dementia through familiar routines. You’ll be a good fit if you value small, meaningful visits as much as practical personal care and if you prefer to work in and around Castle Cary and nearby towns such as Bruton, Blackford, Wincanton, Shepton Mallet, Sherborne and Glastonbury.

What PrimeCarers does for you: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. You remain self-employed — you set your own clients, hours and service area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can move from agency uncertainty to choosing your own work faster than you might expect across Somerset.

Requirements to join are straightforward and verifiable: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and credible references. We ask for these so families can trust you to provide consistent, safe dementia care in their home.

How to apply: create your profile, list your experience and the kind of dementia care you provide, upload references and any relevant training. Once verified, you can start browsing local matches and select the clients and hours that suit you. Many carers find regular, long-term arrangements in and around Castle Cary once their profile is live.
