In Billericay and the wider Essex area we focus on person‑centred support: prompting and assisting with daily routines, companionship, simple meal support, medication prompts and working with families to keep the home environment familiar and reassuring. You might help re‑establish routines, support meaningful activities, and work with relatives to reduce confusion and distress. Work is always in people’s own homes to keep them comfortable and safe.

This is for experienced care professionals who want more control than agency shifts normally allow. You’ll find the role suits carers who are patient, observant, good at building trust and comfortable working in a single‑person or small‑team setting. Many carers moving from agency work value the continuity you can offer when supporting someone with dementia.

Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates — typical ranges are £18.80–£20 per hour. You choose the hours you take and which clients to accept. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. If you offer live‑in or hourly support you can set rates appropriate to the care required and the time involved. Typical ranges for hourly and live‑in roles are £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.

What we need from you:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally with dementia care.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed.
