Dementia Carer Jobs in Rotherham

Support people living with dementia at home across Rotherham, helping them keep familiar routines, stay safe and feel valued in their own surroundings.

Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Rotherham and nearby areas. You set your own hours, choose who you work with and fix the rates you want as an independent carer. Many carers who join prime themselves to focus on dementia care find they can earn from £18.50–£20 per hour while delivering reliable, person-centred support at home.

The work often includes supporting daily routine, companionship, prompting medication, personal care where agreed, and working with families to keep days predictable and calm. You’ll be asked to respect household routines and to contribute ideas for simple, familiar activities that reduce anxiety and support memory. Roles vary — from regular daytime support to longer calls that prioritise consistency — but always with the emphasis on dignity and routine.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work usually allows. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references you’re already part-way there. You’ll also need an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this during onboarding. PrimeCarers takes care of finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.

You can choose to cover Rotherham neighbourhoods and surrounding towns such as Over Woodhouse, Wath upon Dearne, Mexborough, Hoyland, Sheffield and Wombwell. Many carers balance local rounds with honest travel time and choose the service area that fits their life. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

We’re looking for dependable, thoughtful people who prefer building trusting relationships with clients and families. If you’re thinking about leaving agency work for more autonomy and steadier relationships in South Yorkshire, PrimeCarers is designed to help make that transition straightforward and professionally supported.
