Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Kendal

If you’re an experienced carer in Kendal who prefers helping people stay at home, this is for you. The work focuses on dementia support: keeping a calm routine, using patience and familiar surroundings to reduce confusion, and helping people keep independence where possible. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Most shifts are home-based, supporting people with day-to-day routines, companionship, meal prompts, personal care where needed and gentle memory cues. You’ll be working with clients in Kendal and across Cumbria who benefit from predictable visits and someone who knows their history and preferences. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed — you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, with common ranges shown as £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in days. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

This type of role suits people with patience, a calm presence and an eye for routine. You’ll often be supporting the same household, so consistent approaches and small, familiar activities make the biggest difference. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts, this way of working gives you more control over who you support and when, while still having the security of an agency‑style matching service behind you. Kendal carers who prefer continuity of care tend to thrive here.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed, so you manage your diary and commitments, and PrimeCarers supports contracts and payments to keep admin light. Kendal-based carers often cover nearby communities such as Staveley, Milnthorpe, Clackwell, Windermere, Bowness on Windermere and Sedbergh.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one single role. If you want work that values continuity, predictable routines and genuinely person‑centred dementia support across Kendal and the wider Cumbria area, create a profile today — it only takes minutes to apply and you could be visible to local families within days.
