Dementia Carer Jobs in Coleraine

Are you an experienced carer in Coleraine who prefers supporting people with dementia at home, helping them stay calm with familiar routines and surroundings? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Coleraine and County Londonderry, so you can focus on person-centred dementia care without agency constraints.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Work typically looks like patient companionship, prompting and supporting daily routines, promoting independence where possible, and using consistent approaches to reduce anxiety. Care often happens in the client’s own home so continuity, small adjustments and gentle communication make a real difference. Many local families look for carers who can bring patience, clear routines and a calm presence to support memory loss and confusion.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area. You set your own rates and typically see openings around £15–£25 per hour; you can expect roles covering hourly shifts (£15–£25 per hour) and occasional live-in days (£145–£170 per day). PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work.

This approach suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work: you pick who you work for, which shifts fit your life, and how far you’ll travel around Coleraine and nearby towns such as Portstewart, Portrush, Ballymoney, Bushmills, Limavady and Ballycastle. Many carers moving away from rota-bound agency life find the freedom to build stable, one-to-one dementia support rewarding.

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 this), and verifiable references. We’re honest about checks because families need reliable, safe support.

Applying takes minutes online; once your documents and references are verified, profiles typically go live within days. You remain self-employed throughout — PrimeCarers simply makes it easier to find clients and removes admin friction so you can spend more time caring in Coleraine and across County Londonderry.

If you want to keep working closely with people living with dementia but with more control, create a profile and see what local families need. Many carers find the work in Coleraine more meaningful when they can build routines and trusted relationships over time.
