Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Tewkesbury

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed dementia support carer helping people remain at home in familiar surroundings across Tewkesbury and surrounding parts of Gloucestershire. The work focuses on patient, routine-led support: gentle prompting, companionship, personal care where needed, medication reminders and helping with meaningful day-to-day activities so a person with dementia can keep their independence for longer. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, local work rather than a single placement. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit your life. Typical pay for this kind of care is £18.80–£22 per hour for hourly visits, with separate ranges for longer daytime live-in work. Use £18.80–£22 per hour for short visits or £145–£160 per day for longer live-in days when you set your profile. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.

We’re looking for experienced carers who want more control than agency work usually allows. This role suits people who already know dementia care: you’re calm under pressure, patient, good at building predictable routines and enjoy making small adjustments that keep a person at home with dignity. Many carers on PrimeCarers are former agency staff who moved to self-employed work to choose clients and find better work–life balance in and around Tewkesbury, including nearby towns such as Upton upon Severn, Cheltenham, Winchcombe, Greet, Pershore and Gloucester.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have a current certificate. We’ll also ask for basic ID and references during verification so your profile can go live quickly.

Applying only takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests, choose the shifts that fit and manage your diary directly. PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we introduce you to families, manage contracts and payments, and provide cover for insurance while you’re working.
