Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Thornaby on Tees

If you already support people living with dementia and prefer the calm of home-based care, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Thornaby on Tees and the wider area. You’ll work with clients who value routine, patience and familiar surroundings, helping with companionship, memory prompts, personal care and daily structure in their own homes. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work suits carers who enjoy steady, relationship-based support rather than task‑led shifts. Most clients want someone who can keep to a reliable routine, gently cue memories, manage small changes in mood and help preserve independence for as long as possible. Roles are based in Thornaby on Tees, with opportunities near Middlesbrough and Ingleby Barwick, Stockton on Tees, Fairfield, Eaglescliffe, Yarm and Billingham.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area. You set your own rates and keep control of your diary. Typical rates sit around £18.50–£20 per hour, with flexible hourly and live‑in options such as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day depending on the care required and your experience.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the paperwork — contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you work with a family. That means you spend more time on care and less on admin.

The service is for experienced, professional carers. To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We won’t advertise one specific placement here — this page promotes ongoing self‑employed opportunities in Thornaby on Tees and nearby towns.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification profiles typically go live within days. Once live, you can review client requests and accept only the work that fits your skills and availability.
