Dementia Carer Jobs in Wellingborough

Supporting people living with dementia at home in Wellingborough is about patience, consistent routine and keeping life familiar. If you prefer working in someone’s own home—helping with personal care, prompts for medication, companionship, mealtimes and gentle encouragement to stay engaged—this is the kind of work you’ll find through PrimeCarers across Wellingborough and nearby Irthlingborough, Rushden, Higham Ferrers, Burton Latimer, Kettering and Raunds. Northamptonshire families are looking for carers who value continuity and kindness. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing, self-employed opportunities rather than single posts. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work.

The practical day-to-day usually includes: gentle personal care and assistance with washing or dressing; supporting routines and day plans that reduce confusion; encouraging meals and light household tasks; observing and reporting changes; and offering calm, consistent companionship. You’ll often work alongside families to maintain familiar surroundings and predictable patterns that help people with dementia feel safer at home in Wellingborough and elsewhere in Northamptonshire.

This work suits experienced carers who know how to read mood, adapt communication, and keep calm under pressure. Minimum requirements to join are at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Pay is set by you. Typical figures for dementia care on the platform are shown as £18.80–£20.20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days; overall ranges appear as £18.80–£20.20 per hour. PrimeCarers does not place you into a fixed rota—you pick the work that fits your life and availability.

We’re realistic: you won’t be promised fixed hours or earnings, but you will get access to local families, transparent contracts and a straightforward route out of agency shift patterns if that’s what you want. Many carers moving away from agency work value the continuity of supporting the same people in their own homes across Wellingborough and surrounding towns.
