Dementia Carer Jobs in Mirfield

Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes across Mirfield and the surrounding West Yorkshire area. This role is about patience, keeping familiar routines and creating calm, predictable days so people can stay comfortable where they belong. You’ll build relationships, encourage independence and use practical techniques to reduce distress while respecting each person’s history and preferences.

Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform for self-employed carers: you choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers who move away from agency work tell us they value the stability of longer-term, home-based dementia support and the chance to work at a steadier pace. You set your own rates and decide which care tasks you’ll accept. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, with flexibility for hourly and live‑in roles using £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day ranges.

Typical duties include:

• Supporting daily routines (meals, hygiene, medication prompts where trained)
• Using reminiscence and calm communication to reduce anxiety
• Monitoring wellbeing and reporting changes to families or clinicians
• Encouraging gentle activity and meaningful occupation

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value continuity, calm planning and working in the person’s own home rather than a busy, time-pressured rota. Mirfield-based carers often cover local neighbourhoods and nearby towns including Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, Cleckheaton, Batley, Brighouse and Huddersfield.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — plus insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: that means freedom to set your hours, accept only the work that fits your skills and manage your diary to suit your life.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents quickly so profiles typically go live within days.
