Description

You know how patience, routine and familiar surroundings help someone living with dementia stay calm and connected. On PrimeCarers you can build home-based support in Greenisland around what matters: short visits, companionship, prompting daily routines or longer live‑in days depending on your preference as a carer.

There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, self‑employed work rather than one single posting. Carers choose their own clients, hours and service area in and around Greenisland, and set the rates that suit them. Typical roles range from basic companionship and medication prompting to more involved personal care that respects routine and memory cues. You’ll often work with the same families so you can offer consistency and build trust — something many people with dementia benefit from. Carrickfergus families and neighbours regularly look for experienced, patient carers who value continuity.

Pay is set by you: many carers list rates around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the support required and whether visits are short calls or longer duties. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
