Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Dewsbury

If you support people living with dementia and prefer working in clients' own homes, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers in Dewsbury with local families who need patient, routine-led care. You’ll work with people who benefit from familiar surroundings and consistent, calm support — and you decide when and where you work. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role involves: helping with daily routines, reassuring someone who may be anxious or confused, supporting personal care and medication prompts when needed, and using knowledge of memory-friendly approaches to keep days predictable and safe. Much of the work is about companionship, maintaining routines and spotting small changes in health or mood. These are ongoing opportunities across Dewsbury and nearby areas such as Batley, Heckmondwike, Ossett, Mirfield, Cleckheaton and Morley.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay is £18.50–£19.50 per hour depending on the client and care required. You can offer standard hourly visits (typical range: £18.50–£19.50 per hour) or live-in support (typical day range: £145–£160 per day) where that’s appropriate. You choose your clients, hours and the area you cover within Dewsbury and wider West Yorkshire.

What PrimeCarers does for you: we find you clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and arrange insurance while you work. That means you can focus on caring and building strong relationships with families rather than paperwork.

Who this suits: experienced carers who already understand the needs of people living with dementia and value continuity of care. It’s a good move if you’re thinking of leaving agency work for more control over your rates, diary and clients. You’ll need patience, reliable observations, a calm manner and a commitment to routine and dignity.

Minimum requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload your references and DBS, and tell us about your dementia experience. Once verified, you’ll start receiving client matches in Dewsbury and the surrounding towns. You remain self-employed, choose which matches to accept, and keep control over your working life.
