Dementia Support Carer

Join PrimeCarers to offer dementia support at home in Driffield and the surrounding East Riding of Yorkshire. You’ll support people to stay in familiar surroundings, working with patience, gentle routine and small practical adaptations so each day feels safe and known. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing self‑employed opportunities are for carers who want to keep dementia support person‑centred and steady — not rushing from one short call to the next. You’ll be helping with companionship, meal support, prompts for personal care, activity and routine, and supporting families with clear, compassionate communication. Working at home with someone living with dementia often means building predictable rhythms, noticing small changes and keeping the environment reassuring.

This kind of role suits experienced care professionals who value continuity and relationship‑based support. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts, PrimeCarers lets you choose the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. You set your own rates and availability — typical roles fall around £19–£19.60 per hour — and you can work locally in and around Driffield, including Beswick, Bridlington, Beverley, Hornsea, Market Weighton and Pocklington.

What PrimeCarers handles for you

  • We find families and handle contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf.
  • Insurance is included while you work through the platform, so you’re covered during bookings.
  • Profiles go live quickly: applying takes minutes and most profiles are active within days of verification.

Minimum requirements to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Everything here is about giving stable, patient support to people living with dementia across Driffield and nearby communities. You remain self‑employed — you pick the hours, clients and the catchment area that suit you. PrimeCarers supports the administration so you can spend more time with people, and less time on paperwork.

If you’re based in Driffield and want to keep doing dementia care the way it should be — focused, consistent and kind — setting up a profile takes only minutes. Once you’re verified, your profile typically goes live within days and families can start contacting you to discuss ongoing support in the East Riding of Yorkshire area.
