Dementia Carer Jobs in Penarth

Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes across Penarth. You’ll focus on patience, predictable routines and keeping things familiar so that clients can stay comfortable in the environment they know. This work suits carers who enjoy building long-term relationships and who understand how small details — a favourite mug, a regular walk or a steady bedtime routine — make a big difference. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities covering Penarth and nearby towns including Grangetown, Barry, Weston Otmoor, Weston super Mare, Llantrisant and Cowbridge. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you take and the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Many carers set rates within £18.80–£22.50 per hour depending on experience and the needs of the person they support.

Work typically involves companionship, supporting daily routines, prompting medication, assisting with personal care where needed, and using calming approaches if a client becomes distressed. You’ll be expected to keep records, communicate clearly with families and adapt routines as needs change. This role suits experienced carers who prefer the continuity of supporting someone at home rather than frequent short shifts.
