Dementia Carer Jobs in Ellesmere

If you have experience supporting people living with dementia and you want to work differently, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Ellesmere and the surrounding area. This role is about keeping people at home, using patience, routine and familiar surroundings to reduce distress and preserve dignity. You’ll support daily living, companionship, simple prompting, medication prompts, and calm, consistent routines tailored to each person’s needs.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Work suits someone who values continuity and relationships. Many families in Ellesmere prefer regular carers who understand a person’s history and can maintain familiar patterns rather than rotating teams. You can focus on the small things that matter — the right music at the right time, predictable mealtimes, a calm approach to bathing or dressing, and giving relatives reassurance. If you’re used to agency life but want more control and deeper relationships, this could be a better way to practise your skills in Ellesmere and elsewhere in Shropshire.

Pay and practicalities: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical work is in the range £19–£20 per hour. You choose which clients, hours and service area you accept. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Requirements to join are straightforward: 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 don’t need to commit to specific shift patterns — pick calls in Ellesmere or nearby towns such as Overton on Dee, Chirk, Oswestry, Wem, Malpas and Rhosllannerchrugog when they suit you.

How it works in practice: you’ll meet families, complete any agreed care plan, and work consistently to keep routines familiar. Clear record-keeping and good communication with families are essential. PrimeCarers supports you with contract templates and the admin, so you can spend more time on care.
