Dementia Carer Jobs in Stocksbridge

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Stocksbridge and the wider South Yorkshire area. This is hands-on, relationship-led care: patience, predictable routines and small familiar prompts help people stay safe, calm and connected where they are happiest – at home. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

We connect experienced, self-employed carers with families who need dementia support at home. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the areas you cover around Stocksbridge, including Penistone, Hoyland, Barnsley, Over Woodhouse, Wombwell and Sheffield. Many carers set their own rate to reflect their skills and experience. Typical rates for dementia care on the platform sit in the range £18.80–£20 per hour.

The role suits someone who already understands how routine, memory prompts and gentle reassurance reduce anxiety and confusion. You’ll support day-to-day tasks, encourage meaningful activity, manage mealtimes and medicines where appropriate, and work with families to keep a familiar rhythm. Much of this work is short visits, evenings or companionship calls, but opportunities can vary by household and client needs.

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for the bookings you accept, and insurance is included while you work. You remain fully self-employed: set the hours and locations that fit you, and accept only the bookings you want. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. You’ll be expected to show how you support someone living with dementia with patience, structure and dignity. We welcome carers leaving agency work who want more control over their practice in Stocksbridge and nearby towns.

To apply, create a short profile, upload your ID and references and tell us about your experience supporting people with dementia. The platform helps match you to families looking for care at home, while leaving the clinical, relational and practical care choices in your hands. If you’re based in Stocksbridge and want to offer calm, consistent dementia support in people’s own homes, creating your profile is the next practical step.
