Work in Magherafelt and the surrounding communities of County Londonderry, bringing calm, predictability and dignity to people who prefer to remain at home. Typical shifts include short visits to help with washing, dressing and meals, longer companionship sessions to maintain routine, and live-in day support where needed. You set the level of involvement you’re comfortable with and the clients you want to work with.

PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to leave agency-style constraints behind. Carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of role are £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who understand dementia care fundamentals: patience, consistent routines, clear communication and an ability to work with families. You’ll often be asked to use simple, familiar activities to reduce confusion and support wellbeing, to gently re-orientate, and to build trust so the person living with dementia feels safe at home.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS. PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you don’t already have one. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
