Dementia Carer Jobs in Horwich

Work as a self-employed dementia carer supporting people to stay at home in Horwich and the surrounding area of Bolton and Manchester. You’ll help people living with dementia to keep familiar routines, remain calm and safe, and enjoy life in surroundings they know. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, local work for carers who prefer relationship-based support over task-driven visits. Typical duties include companionship, personal care, supporting routines (meals, medication prompts, sleep/awake checks), memory-friendly activities and liaising with families and other professionals where appropriate. You choose the clients you’re comfortable supporting, the hours you want to work and the area you cover. Most carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and work rates typically sit around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support needed.

PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working. That means clearer paperwork and faster payments without an agency middleman. If you’re considering leaving agency work, this gives you more control over who you work with and when.

To join we ask for a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll be asked to describe your dementia experience on your profile so families can see how you work.

Opportunities are available across Horwich and nearby towns such as Blackrod, Adlington, Westhoughton, Belmont, Lee Bank and Hindley. Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and we’ll verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can begin choosing local matches that suit your availability.

If you value patience, routine and building trust with people living with dementia, PrimeCarers can connect you with families who want consistent, familiar home support. Apply now to start listing your availability and set the pace of your care work in Horwich and the wider Manchester area.
