Dementia Carer Jobs in Derry

There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Derry and nearby towns. You set your own rates and choose the clients and hours that suit you. Typical rates for this kind of work are around £15–£25 per hour; many carers reference £15–£25 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£169 per day for live‑in day rates when discussing availability and planning. PrimeCarers connects you with families, so you can focus on care rather than chasing shifts.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency work — people comfortable supporting clients with memory loss, repetition and changing needs, and who work well with clear routines and familiar environments. If you’ve built rapport through patience and consistency, Derry families are looking for that stable, caring presence in their loved one’s home.

• Flexible working: choose your clients, hours and service area, including surrounding parts of County Londonderry and neighbouring towns such as Strabane, Limavady, Castlederg, Portstewart, Coleraine and Omagh.
• How PrimeCarers helps: we find client matches, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work — so you can focus on care.
• Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.

You remain self‑employed: you set your rates, select the clients you want and plan the hours that fit your life. Many carers who move from agency work find this gives them more consistency and better work‑life balance across Derry and throughout County Londonderry.
