Description
Work with people living with dementia in Thornton and nearby Clayton, Queensbury, Denholme, Bradford, Bingley and Shipley, helping them stay safe and comfortable at home. This role suits experienced carers who value patience, predictable routines and familiar surroundings – supporting daily life, prompting medication, encouraging mealtimes and offering calm company. PrimeCarers connects you with families who want consistent, respectful dementia care in Thornton and across West Yorkshire.
Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single post. As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own terms: you choose clients, hours and your service area, and you set your rates within the typical range of £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, with insurance included while you work. That means less paperwork and more time focused on the people you support in Thornton and the surrounding towns.
Typical dementia support tasks include maintaining routines, prompting and assisting with personal care, supporting mobility around the home, encouraging familiar activities and offering steady companionship. You’ll work with people who respond well to continuity, quiet reassurance and carers who respect home routines.
