Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Downham Market

Are you an experienced carer who prefers supporting people with dementia in the comfort of their own home? Working through PrimeCarers in Downham Market means helping clients to keep routine, familiar surroundings and dignity while you work on your own terms. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day‑to‑day you’ll be offering patience, gentle prompting and consistent routines — everything that helps someone living with dementia feel safe. Typical tasks include companionship, supporting daily routines (meals, personal care, mobility), simple prompting for medication, and working with families to keep familiar cues and activities. This role suits someone calm, observant and steady; someone who values small wins and knows how to adapt to changing needs.

Pay is set by you — many carers working through PrimeCarers choose rates in the range £18–£19 per hour. For reference, typical care-hour and live-in ranges are £18–£19 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively, but you set the rate that reflects your experience. You choose which clients to accept, which hours to take and the area you cover. We connect carers with households across Downham Market and nearby towns such as Kings Lynn, Wisbech, Swaffham, March, Brandon and Ely, and across Norfolk when that suits you.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find families for you, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. That administrative support is designed for self‑employed carers who want a professional route without agency restrictions.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single role here — these are ongoing, self‑employed opportunities for carers across Downham Market and the surrounding area.

Application is straightforward: creating a profile takes minutes and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days. If you’re ready to move away from rota‑driven agency shifts and build lasting, meaningful relationships with people living with dementia, PrimeCarers makes that possible while you stay self‑employed and in control.
