Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Stowmarket

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Stowmarket and nearby areas. This role is about patience, routine and keeping life familiar — helping with personal care, companionship, prompts for daily tasks and gentle support through changing needs. Many families want carers who stay consistent, build trust and support small daily routines that make a big difference.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers helps you find families and manage the legals so you can focus on care. Carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the area you work in, whether that’s Stowmarket itself or around Needham Market, Hadleigh, Eye, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Kesgrave in Suffolk. Typical rates for these roles sit around £18.89–£20 per hour. For clarity, common pay examples on the platform look like £18.89–£20 per hour for hourly calls and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates — but you always set the rate you want.

This kind of work suits carers who value consistency and relationship-based care. You’ll often support people with memory loss by keeping to familiar routines, using clear communication, and adapting to small changes with calm and dignity. It’s ideal for experienced carers who prefer one-to-one support in the client’s home rather than fast-paced agency shifts.

To join we ask that you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work with a matched family. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any client we introduce.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your DBS and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. After that you can review introductions and choose the clients that fit the hours and type of dementia support you want to provide in Stowmarket and across Suffolk.

If you’re thinking of moving away from agency rotas but want to keep meaningful dementia work, PrimeCarers offers flexibility, practical admin support and the chance to build long-term relationships with local families.
