Description

Supporting someone with dementia at home is about patience, predictable routines and keeping things familiar. On PrimeCarers you’ll work with families in Modbury to help people stay comfortable and safe in their own homes — whether that means gentle prompting with daily tasks, planning activities that reduce anxiety, keeping to a known routine or simply being a calm, consistent presence. You’ll be part of enabling independence and dignity while working around people’s lives and preferences.

Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and regain control over their work. Many carers who join from nearby towns such as Ivybridge, Kingsbridge, Sherford, Salcombe, Buckfastleigh and Totnes tell us they value being able to keep clients at home in Modbury and across Devon, using established routines rather than shifting settings often. You’ll choose clients whose needs match your skills, work the hours you prefer, and use your judgement to build rapport and consistency.

  • Type of work: companionship, personal care, prompting with medication, meal preparation, mobility support, memory‑friendly activities and liaising with families to maintain routines.
  • Who it suits: patient, observant carers with at least a year of professional care experience and a calm approach to behaviour, communication and day‑to‑day planning.
  • Pay & flexibility: Carers set their own rates. Typical pay for this role is £18.80–£22 per hour. Use £18.80–£22 per hour for visits or £145.50–£165.50 per day for live‑in care where appropriate. You decide which jobs to accept and when you work.

PrimeCarers does the legwork so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working through our platform. 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 check — we can help arrange the DBS if you need it. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re based in Modbury or travel from nearby, and you want to support people living with dementia in their own homes with dignity and consistency, creating a profile is an easy next step.
