Dementia Carer Jobs in Hartland

If you’ve been supporting people with dementia in the community and want to work with more independence, PrimeCarers connects experienced self‑employed carers with families across Hartland and the surrounding area. You’ll be helping people stay at home where routine and familiar surroundings matter most, using patience, gentle encouragement and a calm, consistent approach. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work you’ll do typically includes companionship, practical support with daily routines, prompting and supervision around meals and medication, and helping to preserve a person’s independence for as long as possible. You’ll spend time getting to know each person’s history, preferences and rhythms so you can keep care predictable and reassuring. This role suits carers who value continuity, steady relationships and the skill of working with cognitive change.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and decide whether to offer regular visits or live‑in support. Typical rates for this kind of work are £15–£25 per hour; many carers quote within the £15–£25 per hour for hourly care, and you can also offer live‑in day rates such as £145–£160.50 per day. You keep control of your diary while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work for a client found through the platform.

To join you 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. If you’ve worked in care homes, domiciliary agencies or supporting people at home, your skills transferring to dementia care in private homes will be welcomed. We’re active across Hartland and help connect carers with families in nearby towns including Stratton, Bude, Bideford, Northam, Holsworthy and Great Torrington.

Applying takes minutes: complete a short profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. After that you can review enquiries and choose the clients that suit you best — no rota‑led shifts you didn’t choose, no hidden paperwork. If you value meaningful, relationship‑centred dementia work and want flexibility around family life or other commitments, this could be the next step away from agency routines while keeping the practical support you need.

If you’d like to find out more, create a profile and we’ll guide you through the checks. PrimeCarers supports carers through the onboarding process so you can focus on the care you do best in Hartland and across Devon.
