This kind of care suits people who have at least a year of professional care experience and who enjoy the patience and consistency dementia care needs.

If you prefer longer calls to build trust, or short regular visits to support day-to-day routines, you can choose what works for you and the family.
PrimeCarers helps by finding clients and handling the administrative side: contracts, invoicing and payments are managed for you, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. We can also help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one. To join you must have the right to work in the UK and be able to provide verifiable references.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification your profile typically goes live within days—then families in Ashby Woulds and surrounding towns can see you and get in touch. You remain fully self-employed: choose which enquiries to accept and plan your diary to fit your life.
