Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Scarborough

If you specialise in supporting people living with dementia and prefer the calm of home-based care, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families across Scarborough and the wider North Yorkshire coast. Work in familiar surroundings where routine, patience and small, consistent gestures make the biggest difference. Many of the people you’ll support want continuity — familiar faces, steady routines and respectful, person-centred care in their own home in Scarborough or nearby towns such as Filey, Robin Hoods Bay, Pickering, Bridlington, Whitby and Malton.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit them. Typical rates for dementia support sit around £15–£25 per hour, giving you the flexibility to build rounds that work for your life and experience. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working with a client — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

This role suits carers who:

• Have at least one year of professional care experience and real-world experience supporting people living with dementia.
• Work calmly with routine and familiarity — you understand how structure, gentle reassurance and patience lower anxiety and improve day-to-day life.
• Prefer home care and can support people who stay in their own homes across Scarborough and other parts of North Yorkshire.

To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if you don’t have one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families quickly.

What to expect day to day: offering companionship, supporting routines like mealtimes and personal care, using distraction and reminiscence to reduce distress, and working closely with family members to keep care consistent and familiar. You won’t be sent to unknown shifts by an agency — you choose who you work with and when.

If you’re ready to move away from shift-driven agency life and build relationships that matter, PrimeCarers offers practical admin support while you remain self-employed and in control of your work. Apply now — it only takes a few minutes to create a profile and start being matched with families in Scarborough and across North Yorkshire.
