Dementia Carer Jobs in Stanley

Are you an experienced carer who prefers the calm of home-based dementia care? In Stanley you can work with people living with dementia in familiar surroundings, supporting routines, offering patience and continuity — the kind of steady, relationship-led care that really makes a difference.
Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific role. Carers on PrimeCarers choose their own clients, hours and service area, so you can focus on building long-term support where it matters: the client's own home. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value being able to set boundaries, keep consistent visits and work at a pace that suits both them and the person they support.

Pay is set by you — typical rates for this kind of role are £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can be self-employed without managing every administrative detail yourself.

This kind of dementia care suits carers who are patient, observant and good at keeping routines and simple comforts in place: meal and medication prompts, gentle activity, reassuring conversation, and watching for small changes that matter. You’ll often support people who stay at home because that familiar environment helps reduce confusion and distress — and carers who can keep the day predictable and calm are in demand across Stanley and the wider Durham area.

• What we’ll need from you: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it.
• Self-employed status: you set your rates, choose clients and control your hours and service area.

PrimeCarers makes applying straightforward: it takes minutes to set up a profile and, once your documents and references are verified, profiles typically go live within days. You’ll then be able to review client requests and accept the ones that fit your preferences, whether you want short visits, longer calls or regular daytime support.

We work across Stanley and nearby towns such as Chester le Street, Birtley, Consett, Low Fell, Blaydon on tyne and Sheriff Hill, and around Durham county. If you’re ready to move away from shift-driven agency work and towards relationship-based dementia care at home, this is a practical route to doing that while keeping the flexibility of self-employment.
