Dementia Carer Jobs in Crewkerne

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes around Crewkerne, helping them keep familiar routines, stay calm and feel safe. You’ll support everyday life — prompts for tasks, companionship, meaningful activities and gentle personal care — all with the patience that dementia care needs. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing, self-employed roles are based in and around Crewkerne and nearby communities. Many families prefer consistent carers who understand a person’s history and rhythms, so you’ll often be working to maintain routine and familiarity rather than delivering a rota of short visits. Your work could involve supporting someone with memory loss at breakfast, accompanying short walks, keeping a regular household routine and using simple techniques to reduce distress. We’re looking for carers who value continuity of care and the small, everyday things that make a real difference in people’s lives.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own terms: choose your clients, hours and the area you’ll work in, and set a rate that reflects your experience and skills. Typical rates for dementia care sit around £18.80–£20 per hour, with options for hourly and live-in patterns like £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

These roles suit experienced, thoughtful carers who want more control than the traditional agency model offers. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange or renew one if you need it.

If you live in Crewkerne or travel from South Petherton, Beaminster, Ilminster, Chard, Yeovil or Bridport, you can set the service area you’ll accept and the hours that fit your life. South Petherton, Beaminster, Ilminster, Chard, Yeovil and Bridport are common pickup points for clients who want local carers. We support flexible patterns, including short visits, longer day support and live-in options where appropriate — always agreed between you and the family.

Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload basic documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You stay self-employed: pick the assignments that fit you, agree terms directly with families and use PrimeCarers’ platform to manage bookings and payments simply and securely. If you’re an experienced dementia carer in Crewkerne or surrounding Somerset and want more control over your work and the chance to build lasting relationships, this could be the change you’re looking for.
