Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Shefford

Work in Shefford supporting people living with dementia to remain at home in familiar surroundings. This role suits experienced carers who prioritise patience, routine and calm support — helping with personal care, daily routines, companionship and memory-focused prompts so people can stay safe and comfortable where they feel most themselves. You’ll often be supporting the same person or small group of people, so consistency and a gentle approach matter. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Shefford and nearby areas such as Arlesey, Biggleswade, Stotfold, Letchworth, Sandy and Hitchin. You set your own approach and, because you’re self-employed on PrimeCarers, you set your own rates and hours. Typical rates for dementia support sit around £18.80–£20 per hour, with further detail depending on the care required: £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control, this is for you. You choose which clients to accept, which hours to work and the area you cover in Bedfordshire and beyond. Many carers appreciate being able to build routines with the same people, which benefits both the client and the carer’s job satisfaction.

What we ask for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally with people living with dementia.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• A respectful, patient approach and willingness to follow personalised routines.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers supports you with the client match, contracts and payments so you can focus on delivering compassionate, consistent dementia support in Shefford and across Bedfordshire. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single job.
