Dementia Carer Jobs in Highworth

Supporting people living with dementia at home is patient, routine-led work that suits carers who value familiar surroundings and steady relationships. In Highworth you’ll help people stay comfortable and safe in their own homes, working closely with families to maintain routines, encourage independence and reduce anxiety.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post: you choose the clients you want, the hours you work and the service area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and often charge within £19–£22 per hour depending on experience and the support required. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working — so you can focus on care.

The kind of support you might provide includes regular personal care, prompting medication and appointments, following agreed routines and life-history approaches, practical household help and calm, companion-style visits. You’ll often work alongside family members, sharing notes and small care plans so everyone keeps a familiar rhythm. This role suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and genuine relationships over short, unpredictable calls.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references from recent care roles

PrimeCarers makes the admin easier: we handle client matching, contracts, invoicing and safe payments, and include insurance while you work. You remain self-employed — choosing the clients, hours and areas you cover — whether you want regular daytime calls in Highworth, evening companionship nearby or occasional live-in support for families close to Swindon. You’ll also find opportunities in surrounding towns such as Lechlade, Faringdon, Fairford, Cricklade, Bampton and Carterton.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re an experienced carer thinking of moving away from agency life, this is a way to keep doing the hands-on dementia support you love while taking control of your time and rates. Create a profile, add your references and DBS, and start choosing the work that fits your life in Highworth and the wider Swindon area.
