The work is focused on home-based dementia support: gentle personal care, mealtime support, medication prompts, meaningful conversation, activity prompts and reassurance during distress. You’ll spend time getting to know each person’s history and preferences so that daily routines feel safe and predictable. This role suits carers who value continuity, slow-paced support and building trust over time in Keighley and nearby communities.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work. You remain free to accept or decline any request and to arrange the weeks or days you want to work.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have a recent certificate. You should be comfortable with dementia-aware communication, patient with routine, and able to work sensitively with families.
