Dementia Carer Jobs in Shrewsbury

Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes across Shrewsbury and the surrounding parts of Shropshire. This role is about patience, routine and keeping life familiar for each person you support — helping with day-to-day tasks, meaningful companionship, gentle prompting and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. You’ll be matched to clients who want to remain at home and where your experience can make the biggest difference.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific post. On PrimeCarers you set your own fees and decide which care you offer. Typical rates for this kind of work are £18.50–£19 per hour, with more detailed ranges shown on profiles like £18.50–£19 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160.50 per day for live-in day work. You choose your clients, hours and service area — whether you want to work across Shrewsbury itself or visit nearby towns such as Wem, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Oakengates, Dawley and Telford.

This kind of dementia support suits carers who value continuity, who can work calmly within a routine and who understand how small familiar cues make a big difference. You’ll spend time building trust, supporting daily living and adapting to each person’s needs as their condition changes. Families often look for carers who bring patience, consistency and respect for their loved one’s home life.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work. We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience. You must have the right to work in the UK, provide verifiable references and hold an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed). Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re considering leaving agency work to be more independent but want administrative support, PrimeCarers gives you flexibility without the paperwork. Register, upload references and DBS details, and choose the clients that fit your skills and availability in Shrewsbury and across Shropshire.
