Dementia Carer Jobs in Leicester

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Leicester who want gentle, routine-based support for people living with dementia at home. You’ll work one-to-one in familiar surroundings, helping maintain routines, encouraging independence where possible and offering the patience that really matters in dementia care. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity to build long-term home-based relationships rather than answering one-off shifts. Many carers moving away from agency work choose PrimeCarers because they can set their own rates and keep regular clients. You set your own hours, choose where you work and negotiate the support you offer. Typical rates sit around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care required and the family’s needs.

What the work looks like day to day: calming presence, predictable routines, personal care and medication prompts when needed, companionship, simple household tasks and helping maintain familiar schedules. You’ll spend time getting to know a person’s life story, preferences and triggers so the home stays a safe, reassuring place. This role suits carers who are patient, adaptable and enjoy building trust with people living with dementia across Leicester.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. Carers remain self-employed: you choose clients, hours and service area, including work in and around Leicester and Braunstone Town, Oadby, Wigston Magna, Syston, Earl Shilton and Loughborough.

Requirements to register are clear and practical: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
