Dementia Carer Jobs in Wigston Magna

Support people living with dementia in their own homes across Wigston Magna and the surrounding parts of Leicestershire. These roles focus on keeping life familiar and calm — following routines, using patience, distraction and reassurance, and helping with practical tasks so clients can stay safe and comfortable where they’re happiest. You’ll work one-to-one with families who want continuity and kindness rather than shift-based care.

Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families in Wigston Magna and nearby areas, including Oadby, Braunstone Town, Syston, Earl Shilton, Lutterworth and Market Harborough. You set your own standards and your own rate — carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay for dementia care on the platform is £18.50–£20 per hour and you choose the hours and service area that suit you.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value stability and relationship-based support. You’ll spend time building trust, learning life history, keeping to familiar routines, assisting with personal care, medication prompts, mealtimes and gentle activity or companionship. Emotional awareness and an ability to adapt communication to each person’s needs are essential. Working in the same home helps reduce confusion and supports better outcomes for people living with dementia.

PrimeCarers makes the paperwork easy: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed — you choose your clients, hours and service area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’ve previously worked for an agency or in a care home and want more control over the work you do in Wigston Magna or elsewhere in Leicestershire, this could be a good next step.

We’re not advertising a single post but ongoing opportunities for experienced dementia carers who prefer the continuity and dignity of home-based support. If you’re ready to take more control of your work-life balance, keep doing the hands-on care you care about and be part of a trusted local network, it only takes minutes to apply and you can be matched to families in and around Wigston Magna within days.
