Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Ridgacre

Work with older people living with dementia in Ridgacre, helping them remain safe, calm and connected at home. This role is about steady routines, gentle prompts, meaningful companionship and practical support — not clinical casework. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtime routines, activities that reduce anxiety and keeping familiar surroundings, so the person can stay living where they feel most comfortable.
Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families across Ridgacre and nearby areas so you can offer consistent, person-centred dementia care on terms that suit you. You set your own working area and can accept clients in Ridgacre and towns such as West Bromwich, Wednesbury, Oldbury, Tipton, Moxley and Darlaston. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the calmer, continuity-focused approach families want here in the West Midlands.

Practical things to know: you are self-employed on PrimeCarers, so you choose your clients, hours and how you work. Typical rates for this kind of dementia support are £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and insurance is included while you’re working with a matched client — giving you the autonomy of self-employment with back-office support.

Is this the right role for you? It suits carers who already have a calm, routine-led approach, good observational skills, patience and creative ways to reduce distress. You’ll need empathy for people with memory loss, and the confidence to build predictable days that reduce confusion and agitation. The role is well suited to experienced care workers wanting more control over who they support and when.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers (we can help with some steps):

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

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Add your experience, upload documents and references, and PrimeCarers will verify your details.
