You’ll support day-to-day living, prompt medication, companionship, and activities that uphold routines and dignity. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

You’ll be choosing work that suits you: many carers who join from agency roles like the ability to pick clients, hours and service area. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically see work in the £18.89–£21 per hour range. You can accept short calls, regular visits, or longer live-in arrangements depending on what suits your life and the family’s needs.

This kind of role suits experienced, calm carers who understand how routine, repetition and small familiar cues help people living with dementia remain settled. If you enjoy building relationships, learning individual life stories and maintaining consistent patterns day-to-day, you’ll do well here. You’ll be working across Higham Ferrers and the surrounding area including Rushden, Irthlingborough, Raunds, Wellingborough, Burton Latimer and Thrapston, with opportunities across Northamptonshire.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for the bookings you accept, and provides insurance while you’re working for a client. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How it works in practice: you create a profile that highlights your dementia experience and preferred hours, choose the local families you want to work with, and keep control over the type of support you provide. Many carers value being able to offer consistent visits so a person living with dementia benefits from routine and familiar faces, rather than frequent staff changes.

Apply now — it takes minutes to start your profile and, once verified, you can be visible to families across Higham Ferrers and nearby towns within days.
