Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Leyland

Support people living with dementia at home in Leyland and the surrounding area while keeping the comforts of routine and familiar surroundings at the heart of the role. You’ll work with people who benefit from patience, consistency and small, practical approaches that reduce confusion and keep days steady. Right now, 20 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers lists ongoing self-employed opportunities for experienced carers who want to focus on relationship-based dementia support in Leyland and nearby towns such as Penwortham, Chorley, Preston, Adlington, Broughton and Appley. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, your hours and your service area, while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform.

What dementia support looks like in the home:

• Supporting daily routines—mealtimes, personal care and medication prompts—in ways that feel familiar to the person you’re with.
• Using calm communication, reassurance and simple activities to reduce anxiety and re-direction rather than confrontation.
• Working with families to maintain continuity, help plan predictable days and record what works best for each client.
• Encouraging independence where possible and adapting tasks to each person’s strengths and comfort.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer building long-term, person-centred relationships rather than shifting between short calls. If you’re thinking of moving on from agency work or want more control over when and where you work in Lancashire, this could be a better way to use your skills while keeping the best parts of caring.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for dementia support roles fall in the range £18.50–£20 per hour. You choose how many hours you work and whether you take live-in or hourly roles; the platform supports both.

Requirements to join:

• At least 1 year of recent professional care experience, with dementia support preferred.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Once your documents and references are verified, profiles typically go live within days and PrimeCarers will start matching you with local clients in Leyland and the surrounding area. You keep control of which introductions you accept and when you work.
