Description

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Battle and nearby villages, helping them keep familiar routines, stay safe and feel known. This role is about patience, gentle prompting and supporting daily rhythms so your clients can remain comfortable in the surroundings they trust.
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties are centred on person‑focused, in‑home support and may include companionship, supporting routines and mobility, mealtime assistance, personal care where agreed, medication prompting and careful observation with clear reporting. You’ll be supporting clients to keep familiar rituals and environments at the heart of each day in Battle and the surrounding area.

This type of work suits experienced carers who value continuity and relationships — for example those who are used to working in domiciliary care, registered homes or one‑to‑one support and who want to move to a self‑employed way of working in East Sussex. You need patience, clear communication with families, and the ability to work calmly when routines change.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is £19.20–£21.30 per hour.

Whether you prefer short calls, longer visits, or regular continuity visits, you decide the pattern that suits you and the person you support.

  • Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience;
  • Checks: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one);
  • Right to work: you must have the right to work in the UK;
  • References: verifiable professional references.
