Description

Supporting someone living with dementia at home is about patience, routine and keeping life familiar. In Bawtry you’ll help people stay safe and calm in the place they know best, using everyday skills: companionship, prompting with daily tasks, medication reminders, gentle mobility support and keeping routines that matter. PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities for carers who value continuity of care and want to work close to home. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who prefer consistent, person‑centred visits rather than short, fragmented shifts. You’ll be working with people who benefit from a steady face, predictable routines and sensitive communication. Many carers on PrimeCarers use their existing dementia care experience to build longer‑term relationships in Bawtry and nearby areas, including Harworth and Bircotes, Tickhill, Maltby, Doncaster, Edlington and Retford. You can choose the hours and clients that fit your life, and set your own rates — typical roles range around £18.80–£20 per hour.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, raise invoices and process payments on your behalf. Insurance is included while you work via the platform, and support is available if you need help with paperwork or arranging checks.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t yet have an up‑to‑date DBS, PrimeCarers can help you arrange one. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

  • Who this suits: skilled carers with dementia experience who want predictable, meaningful work in Bawtry and across South Yorkshire.
  • What you’ll do: build routine, support independence, offer patient companionship and practical help for daily living at home.
  • How it works: you’re self‑employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates.
  • Admin and protection: PrimeCarers handles matching, contracts, invoicing, payments and provides insurance while you work.

Interested? Creating a profile takes a few minutes. Once verified, your profile usually goes live within days and families contact you directly.
