Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Sherford

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Sherford who want dementia support at home. You’ll work with people who benefit from patience, small predictable routines and the comfort of familiar surroundings — supporting independence while keeping clients safe and calm. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Sherford and nearby areas of Devon. You choose which families to work with, the hours you accept and the distance you’re willing to travel. Many carers who join PrimeCarers prefer to focus on one or two regular clients so they can build trusting relationships and stick to consistent routines that benefit people living with dementia.

Pay is set by you — many carers list rates in the range £18.80–£21.50 per hour — and you can advertise hourly or live‑in availability. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care rather than admin. You might work with clients in Sherford or nearby towns such as Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Dartmouth, Modbury, Totnes and Ivybridge.

This kind of role suits an experienced carer comfortable with paced, person-centred support: helping with morning and evening routines, companionship, medication prompting, light domestic tasks that keep a home familiar, and calm, respectful communication when memory loss makes everyday life confusing. You’ll be expected to work patiently, follow agreed routines and help maintain dignity and choice for each person in their own home.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t advertise one single placement here — we introduce you to families looking for regular dementia support across Sherford and the surrounding Devon area.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you’re used to agency rotas and want more control over who you support and when, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to move to self‑employed, client-led work while keeping practical admin in hand.
