Dementia Carer Jobs in Gainsborough

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Gainsborough who want dementia support at home. You’ll help people stay familiar with their routine and environment — supporting daily tasks, companionship and reassuring presence that keeps them calm and safe. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits carers who are patient, observant and comfortable building a steady routine. You’ll support people living with dementia in their own homes across Gainsborough and the surrounding parts of Lincolnshire, helping with personal care, mealtimes, medication reminders, meaningful activity and gentle companionship. You won’t be assigned shifts you don’t want — you choose clients, hours and your service area.

Pay is set by you. Most carers on the platform set rates within £19.20–£22.50 per hour depending on experience and the tasks needed. Some carers use an hourly option (typically £19.20–£22.50 per hour) or take longer live‑in days (typically £146–£160.50 per day) — you decide what suits you and the family. PrimeCarers handles invoicing and payments so you’re paid for the time you agree with each family.

We work with self‑employed carers who have at least one year of professional care experience and can provide verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; if you don’t have one yet, PrimeCarers can help arrange it. You also need the right to work in the UK. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, and contracts are handled for you.

Many carers move to PrimeCarers from agency work because they want stability without losing flexibility: pick the clients you want, keep your independence and focus on relationship‑centred dementia support. If you’re based in Gainsborough you may also find suitable families in nearby areas such as East Retford, Retford, Epworth, Kirton in Lindsey, Bawtry and Harworth and Bircotes.
