Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Penwortham

If you have experience supporting people living with dementia and want to work with kindness, patience and routine, these ongoing self-employed opportunities in Penwortham could suit you. You’ll support people to remain at home in familiar surroundings, keeping to routines, using gentle prompts and activities that reassure. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles are ideal for carers who prefer continuity and relationship-led support rather than short shifts. Work often includes companionship, personal care, medication prompting, creating calming routines and supporting mealtimes and daily activities in the person’s own home. Many roles suit people who value calm, predictable hours and the chance to build trust over weeks and months in and around Penwortham and the wider Lancashire area.

Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical ranges are shown during sign-up: £18.80–£20.50 per hour. For clarity, common examples are: £18.80–£20.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day care. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and the service area you’ll cover — many carers work across Penwortham and nearby towns such as Preston, Leyland, Broughton, Kirkham, Wesham and Medlar with Wesham.

What PrimeCarers handles: we introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That lets you focus on care, paperwork-free. This is not one specific role but a steady stream of self-employed opportunities you can pick from as they suit you.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally with people living with dementia.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Patience, good communication and a respect for routine and familiar environments.

Penwortham carers who join PrimeCarers often move across from agency work because they want more control over rates, clients and hours while still having admin and payments taken care of. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can begin choosing suitable care opportunities in Penwortham shortly after.
