Description

If you have experience supporting people living with dementia and you want to work more independently in Bodmin, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families who value patience, routine and familiar surroundings. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities to give one‑to‑one care at home, helping people remain comfortable in their own houses and local communities across Bodmin and Cornwall. You set the pace of your work and the relationships you build.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves supporting clients with day‑to‑day routines: building predictable schedules, using familiar objects and activities to reduce distress, offering gentle prompts for personal care, preparing meals, joining in meaningful pastimes and being a calm, steady presence. You’ll be helping people stay at home as long as possible, working around individual rhythms rather than hospital timetables.

This kind of care suits someone with practical dementia experience and a calm, observant manner. Many carers who move from agency work appreciate choosing who they support, agreeing the hours that fit their life, and keeping continuity for the same families. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates; typical ranges are shown here: £20–£22 per hour.

Key practical points:

  • Flexible choices: you choose your clients, hours and service area, so you can work part‑time, full‑time or evenings if that suits you.
  • We find clients: PrimeCarers introduces families, manages contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
  • Local work: many carers cover Bodmin and nearby towns such as Lostwithiel, Wadebridge, St Blazey, Par, St Austell and Charlestown, keeping travel sensible and familiar.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will guide you through verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed.
