Description
Work with people living with dementia in their own homes in Kidderminster, helping them keep routine, familiar surroundings and dignity. You’ll support daily routines, prompt medication, offer reassurance and meaningful companionship — all with patience and a steady approach that really matters for someone with memory loss.
Right now, 20 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing, self-employed work rather than a single role. Most carers work with clients who prefer to stay at home across Kidderminster and the surrounding area, including Bewdley, Stourport on Severn, Stourbridge, Lye, Brierley Hill and Bromsgrove. You’ll be supporting people across Worcestershire who benefit from consistent faces and predictable days.
Typical tasks include personal care, meal support, activity prompts, mobility assistance and gentle companionship focused on routine and calm. The work suits experienced carers who value continuity of care and the smaller rhythms of home life more than rapid shift changes or clinical settings. If you’re considering leaving agency work, you’ll find the control of choosing clients, building relationships and setting your own approach refreshing.
