Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Ivybridge

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes in and around Ivybridge, helping them keep familiar routines, stay calm and feel safe. You’ll be supporting day-to-day life — small talks, steadying handovers between activities, gentle prompting, and preserving independence where possible. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Most families ask for patient, routine-based support: regular visits so clients have reassuring faces and consistent timetables, help with personal care done with dignity, companionship over tea, or simply being present through a difficult afternoon. Your approach will be calm, observant and consistent — the kind of steady presence that makes a real difference when memory and orientation change.

This work suits experienced carers who value continuity and long-term relationships with clients. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to accept and decide your hours and service area. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£22 per hour; many carers expect ranges such as £18.80–£22 per hour for hourly care and £148–£165 per day for live‑in days. If you want to move away from agency rotas and build a caseload you control, this platform is designed for that.
