Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Ponteland

Join PrimeCarers to support people living with dementia in their own homes across Ponteland. You’ll help maintain familiar routines, bring calm and patience to daily tasks, and support independence where possible. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities that suit carers who prefer continuity of care and the chance to form trusting relationships in the local community. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work is varied and often includes companionship, prompting and supporting with personal care, assisting with meals, following daily routines, encouraging meaningful activity, and liaising with family members. Most families prefer care that respects rhythm and familiarity rather than constant change, so the role suits someone who values consistency and gentle, person-centred practice.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay ranges are shown on profiles: £18.50–£20 per hour. For more detail you may see £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days.

PrimeCarers finds clients and looks after the paperwork: we handle contracts, invoicing and payment processing, and provide insurance while you are working on a placement. That means you can focus on quality dementia support without carrying the admin alone.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We review profiles quickly: applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Ponteland or elsewhere in Northumberland and are ready to move away from agency rotas towards more control over your work, this could be the next step in your career.
