Dementia Carer Jobs in Didsbury West

Work as a self-employed carer supporting people living with dementia in Didsbury West and the surrounding neighbourhoods. You’ll be helping people stay at home where familiar routines and faces make daily life calmer — supporting personal care, meal routines, meaningful activities and gentle companionship, always with patience and respect. Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who understand how small routines, clear cues and slow pacing make a big difference for someone with dementia. You might already work in home care or in a care home and are looking to move away from agency shifts. As a PrimeCarers member you choose the clients you work with, set your own hours and shape the service area that fits your life in and around Didsbury West, including nearby areas such as Withington, Old Moat, Merseybank, Didsbury, Ladybarn and Chorlton Park.

Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates. Typical ranges for dementia support are £18.50–£20 per hour; you can also set £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for live‑in days depending on the needs of the household. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We welcome carers based in Didsbury West and nearby who are comfortable with dementia care best practice, safe moving and handling, and working with families to maintain routines and reduce distress.

Becoming discoverable takes minutes: complete a short profile, upload your references and DBS, and our team will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you’ll see local requests and can choose which families to contact. Many carers who join PrimeCarers prefer the combination of control and support — the freedom of self-employment with client introductions and practical back‑office support from the platform in Manchester.
