Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Clare

Working with people living with dementia in Clare means supporting familiar routines, steady companionship and practical care so they can stay safe and comfortable at home. You’ll focus on patience, small predictable routines and continuity of faces and places to reduce confusion and anxiety. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Clare and surrounding Suffolk towns. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose which clients you work with and decide your hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers in the area quote typical rates of £18–£20 per hour when they set their profile.

If this role suits you, you’ll be used to working calmly with people who benefit from steady routines: supporting personal care, prompting medication, helping with meals and hydration, encouraging gentle activity and engaging in conversational memory work or reminiscence. You’ll also liaise with family members to keep them informed and record care notes so everyone has a clear, consistent picture of the person’s day. This kind of work is often as much about companionship and predictable structure as it is about practical tasks.

PrimeCarers is aimed at experienced carers moving away from agency life who want more control. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. You remain self-employed throughout, so you decide which care calls to accept and how to balance work with your life in Clare, or nearby towns such as Haverhill, Sudbury, Halstead, Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and Thaxted.

Apply in minutes: create a profile, upload documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. We don’t offer a single advertised role here — we list ongoing opportunities that let you build a client base over time. Whether you prefer short daytime visits, longer one-to-one companionship or regular support that helps someone remain in their own home, PrimeCarers gives you the platform and the admin support so you can focus on providing thoughtful dementia care in Clare and across Suffolk.
