Description

Support people with dementia to live well at home in Norwood and across North Yorkshire. You’ll help keep days calm and familiar: sticking to routines, using gentle prompts, offering companionship and keeping the home environment safe and reassuring. Work is focused on home-based care that values patience, small predictable routines and remaining in familiar surroundings. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties include companionship, prompting with personal care and medication, mealtime support, simple household tasks and engaging practical activities that match a person’s history and interests. You’ll often work alone in someone’s home, building trust and small routines that make life steadier. This work suits carers who are calm, reliable and skilled at adapting to changing needs.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers working in and around Norwood set their rates within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the hours agreed. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

To join we ask for:

  • 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

Whether you want regular daytime visits, evening calls or longer live-in arrangements, you control which jobs you accept and when you’re available.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, submit your documents and our team will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start connecting with families looking for experienced dementia care in Norwood and across North Yorkshire.
