Description
If you have experience supporting people living with dementia and prefer working in familiar home settings rather than institutions, PrimeCarers can help you find ongoing, self‑employed opportunities across Royton and nearby areas. You’ll support people to remain at home with patience, gentle prompts, consistent routines and meaningful companionship — helping them feel safe and understood in surroundings they know. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a dementia support carer on PrimeCarers you choose the families you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. Many carers pick assignments that let clients keep a steady routine: medication prompts, mealtime support, personal care done with dignity, mobility assistance and reassuring company during familiar daily tasks. These roles suit carers who are calm, flexible and experienced at using clear, simple communication and routine to reduce confusion.
Pay and flexibility: carers set their own rates and control their workload. Typical rates for this role are £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
Who we’re looking for:
- At least one year of professional care experience, ideally including dementia or older‑adult care.
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references who can confirm your recent care experience.
Working locally: many of our carers in Royton also cover nearby towns such as Shaw and Crompton, Chadderton, Oldham, Milnrow, Rochdale and Middleton. You’ll often meet families who want consistent, long‑term support so clients can stay in their own homes across Oldham and the wider Manchester area.
How it works in practice:
- Create a profile: applying takes minutes and you’ll describe your skills, experience and availability.
- Verification and matching: we check your paperwork, arrange DBS if needed and introduce you to families whose needs match your skills.
- Set your terms: choose which jobs to accept, set your rates and negotiate hours directly with families.
Support from PrimeCarers: we handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance cover while you’re working with a client. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing matches quickly. If you’re ready to move away from agency routines and deliver patient, relationship‑based dementia support in Royton, apply now — your profile can be active in days.
