Description
Work with people living with dementia in their own homes around Newburgh, supporting routine, familiarity and dignity. You’ll help keep days calm and predictable, using patience, simple prompts and consistent routines to reduce distress while respecting each person’s history and preferences. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Newburgh and nearby areas including Appley, Skelmersdale, Ormskirk, Rainford, Wigan and Adlington. You set your own clients, hours and service area and choose the care you give — from companionship and personal care to supporting mealtimes, medication prompts and activity-based engagement. Many carers working through PrimeCarers find they can provide higher-quality dementia support when clients remain in familiar surroundings in Lancashire and beyond.
Pay is set by you. Typical ranges for dementia care with PrimeCarers are £18.80–£20 per hour; many carers use £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly bookings and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care rather than admin.
This work suits experienced, patient carers who understand how routine, reassurance and small adjustments make a big difference for people with dementia. If you’d rather step away from agency rota demands and keep continuity with familiar people and places, this role is well matched to that aim. You’ll often support the same families, helping to preserve independence at home.
What we require to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers then introduces you to families, manages contracts and collects payments on your behalf.
