Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Coggeshall

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers who specialise in dementia support with families in and around Coggeshall. The role is about helping people stay at home where routines, familiar rooms and gentle patience matter most. You’ll support daily routines, help with personal care and meals, offer meaningful companionship and assist with memory-friendly activities — all aimed at keeping life steadier for someone living with dementia. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity: regular visits, predictable routines and time to build trust rather than rushed, task-focused calls. You decide whether you want shorter daytime visits, longer sits or live-in work, and you set your own rates and availability. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, with options across £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. Because you’re self-employed, you keep control of who you work with, the hours you accept and your service area.

PrimeCarers finds suitable families in Coggeshall and nearby towns including Witham, Halstead, Braintree, Colchester, Heybridge and Maldon. We handle the client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments and we include insurance while you’re working with a family arranged through us. That means you can focus on care while we take care of the admin that usually slows skilled carers down.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t already have an Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help you arrange one. We don’t post one-off roles here — we advertise ongoing, self-employed opportunities so you can build steady relationships with people who need dementia support across Coggeshall and the wider Essex area.

Applying takes minutes: complete a short profile, upload references and DBS where available, and our team will verify the details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and from there you can review client matches and choose those that suit you. If you’re an experienced carer craving more control, predictable routines and the chance to make a real difference to people living with dementia, PrimeCarers in Coggeshall could be a better way to work.
