Dementia Carer Jobs in Shallcross

Supporting people with dementia at home requires patience, steadiness and an eye for routine. In Shallcross you’ll help people stay safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings — keeping mealtimes, activities and personal care calm and consistent. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical work includes companionship, supporting daily routines, prompting medication, helping with personal care and being a steady, reassuring presence through good days and difficult ones. You’ll often work with people who respond best to consistent faces and simple, predictable days; that means building rapport, using clear communication and knowing when to slow down or simplify tasks.

This is for experienced carers who prefer the autonomy of self-employed work. On PrimeCarers you set your own rate and choose clients, hours and the area you cover — many carers in Shallcross work flexible daytime hours, short shifts or regular calls to suit family routines. Typical pay sits in the range £18.50–£20 per hour, with specific roles varying between £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

PrimeCarers finds suitable clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less admin and more time with the people you support. You remain self-employed: you choose the families you accept and the hours you take on.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this). We ask for clear references so families can see your track record of reliable, compassionate care.

We connect carers across Shallcross and nearby towns including Whaley Bridge, Chapel en le Frith, New Mills, Buxton, Bollington and Poynton with Worth — covering much of the local Derbyshire area with ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than single shifts.
