Dementia Carer Jobs in Huntingdon

Working with people who have dementia at home is different to shift work in a high-turnover setting. It’s about patience, small routines and keeping familiar places familiar. If you prefer building relationships and helping someone stay safe and comfortable in their own home, there are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Huntingdon to do exactly that.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical roles involve supporting everyday living: prompting and assisting with personal care, preparing meals, encouraging routines, companionship, managing medication prompts and calmly responding to distress or confusion. Much of the work is about consistency — keeping to familiar patterns, using simple cues and giving time. Many families look for carers who can work regular hours so the person living with dementia keeps a predictable day.

You’ll be self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates fall within £18.80–£20.39 per hour; you’ll also see the difference between hourly and live‑in care with ranges like £18.80–£20.39 per hour and £147–£162.50 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work under PrimeCarers’ arrangement, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who value continuity and relationship-centred practice. If you’ve worked with people living with dementia, understand the importance of routine and can stay calm when behaviours change, you’ll be able to offer the stable support many families in Huntingdon and the surrounding area want. Carers on PrimeCarers often move from agency work to gain more control over who they support and when.

Requirements to join are straightforward:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references
