Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Cullompton

We’re looking for experienced carers in Cullompton who want to support people living with dementia to stay safe and settled at home. This work focuses on patient, routine-led support: keeping familiar surroundings, encouraging small, meaningful routines and using calm communication to reduce confusion. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover — many carers cover Cullompton and nearby towns like Bradninch, Tiverton, Ottery St Mary, Honiton, Wellington and Exeter. Typical pay for this kind of role is £18.89–£24.40 per hour and you can set your own rate within that range. Hourly and live-in roles vary; expect typical hourly care rates of £18.89–£24.40 per hour and typical live-in day rates of £145–£160 per day depending on the support required.

The day-to-day work suits carers who are calm, patient and skilled at building trust. Typical tasks include supporting morning and evening routines, prompting and assisting with medication, helping with meals, keeping to predictable activities to reduce agitation, and working closely with families to follow familiar approaches. You’ll often be the consistent face who helps a person remain in their own home and keep their independence.

This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity rather than a single post. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That administrative support lets you spend more time on care and less on paperwork.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need to be comfortable working independently and following agreed care plans. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re based in Cullompton or elsewhere in Devon and want to move away from agency rotas while keeping regular, meaningful work with people who have dementia, PrimeCarers could be the right fit. Create a profile, choose the clients and hours that suit you, and start offering dementia support in the places you prefer.
