Description

Working as a self-employed dementia carer in Crumlin means supporting people to stay at home with patience, routine and familiar surroundings. You’ll help maintain familiar daily patterns, offer gentle prompts, provide personal care with dignity and create calm, predictable days that reduce confusion and distress. You can work across Crumlin and into Antrim and nearby towns including Randalstown, Lurgan, Merville Garden Village, Ballyclare, Doromore and Holywood. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates fall around £18.80–£19.50 per hour, with more detail available on hourly and live‑in commitments shown as £18.80–£19.50 per hour and £147–£172 per day. Many carers value the chance to build longer-term relationships, work consistent hours that suit them and support people to remain in their own homes.

The kind of care you might provide includes promoting routine and orientation, supporting mealtimes and nutrition, supervised personal care, medication prompts, meaningful companionship and working with families to follow familiar routines. This work suits patient, observant carers who can stay calm under pressure, adapt to changing needs and who prefer relationship-led care over rapid task-driven visits.

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. While you’re working with a family through PrimeCarers, insurance is included. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, choose which clients to accept and decide your hours and area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days once verified.

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 yet have an up-to-date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We ask for clear references that reflect your dementia care experience and compassion.

If you’re based in Crumlin, or travel from nearby Randalstown, Lurgan, Merville Garden Village, Ballyclare, Doromore or Holywood, and you want more control over your working life while doing rewarding dementia care at home, creating a profile takes only minutes. Once verified, many carers are matched with clients and begin offering care within days.
