Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Newry

If you're an experienced carer who understands the patience, routine and small choices that help people living with dementia stay safe and calm at home, PrimeCarers could help you find regular work around Newry. You’ll support clients in their own homes, preserving familiar surroundings and daily rhythms while offering compassionate practical care in Newry and nearby towns. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The role is focused on home-based dementia support: calming companionship, gentle prompts for personal care and medication, helping with mealtimes, maintaining consistent routines and working with families on small strategies to reduce confusion. Much of the work is in private homes across Newry and the surrounding area, including Warrenpoint, Rostrevor, Markethill, Kilkeel, Castlewellan and Portadown, where families prefer carers who know the community and value continuity of care.

This opportunity suits someone with at least a year of professional care experience who wants more control than typical agency shifts. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept, select your hours and decide the service area you cover. To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

Pay is set by you and typically sits around £18.50–£21.50 per hour; many carers use that range as a guide when they first join. PrimeCarers handles the time-consuming admin — we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Applying only takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role — you’ll be matched with families looking for reliable dementia support in Newry and across Newry and Mourne. If you want to move away from agency routines while keeping professional standards and steady client contact, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a straightforward next step.
