Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed dementia support carer working in Stafford and the surrounding area. You’ll support people living with dementia to remain at home in familiar surroundings, focusing on patience, gentle routines and small, meaningful connections. Shifts are typically one-to-one in people’s own homes and emphasise reassurance, prompts for daily tasks, companionship and consistent routines rather than clinical tasks.
Right now, 18 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This type of work suits experienced carers who value continuity and relationship-based support. You’ll often help with:
- Daily routines: morning and evening support, mealtime prompts and medication reminders where appropriate;
- Personal care: gentle assistance with washing, dressing and mobility when needed;
- Emotional connection: conversation, reminiscence and activity prompts that reduce anxiety;
- Observation: spotting changes in mood, appetite or wellbeing and feeding back to families or professionals.
