Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Skelton in Cleveland

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self-employed carers who want to support people living with dementia at home in Skelton in Cleveland. This role is about patience, predictable routines, gentle encouragement and keeping people comfortable in familiar surroundings. You’ll help with day-to-day living, companionship, personal care and, importantly, preserving dignity and consistency in the home.

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

This is ongoing work across Redcar and Cleveland and nearby communities. You choose who you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover — many carers based in Skelton in Cleveland also take shifts close to Saltburn by the Sea, Guisborough, Loftus, Redcar, Eston and Stokesley. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical pay for this work is £18.50–£20 per hour. For clarity, you can expect a range of paid arrangements: short visits charged hourly (£18.50–£20 per hour) and live-in day rates (£144.50–£160 per day), depending on what you and a family agree.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who prefer continuity over agency churn. If you value building routines, using calm communication and working in a client’s own home, this is a good fit. Many carers moving away from agency work say they appreciate setting their own timetable and matching with clients whose needs and personalities suit them.
