Description

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families in Birkenhead who need patient, routine‑focused dementia support at home. You’ll be supporting people to stay safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings — helping with daily routines, companionship, nutrition, personal care and small practical tasks while working with patience and consistency.

Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Birkenhead and parts of Halton, not a single job listing. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and areas you’ll accept. Carers typically work within local neighbourhoods and nearby towns such as Liverpool, Bebington, Wallasey, Upton, Bootle and Bromborough.

Pay for dementia support roles on the platform sits around £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care instead of paperwork.

This work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity of support, enjoy building trusting relationships, and value patience, routine and a calm approach to distress and memory loss. You’ll often work with the same person over weeks and months, helping maintain daily routines, familiar cues and meaningful activities that reduce confusion and anxiety.

Requirements to join

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

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Because carers are self‑employed you have the flexibility to accept the shifts and clients that suit you. You remain in control of your diary, service area and the rate you charge.

If you’re leaving agency work for more autonomy, PrimeCarers gives you the admin support many carers miss: we match you with families, take care of contracts and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. You choose the care you deliver; we support the rest.

To apply, create a profile, upload your documents and references, and tell us about your dementia care experience — many carers are approved and live within days. If you want to focus on supporting people in Birkenhead and the surrounding area, this is a practical way to keep doing the work you love while working on your own terms.
