Description

Support people living with dementia in their own homes around Bungay. This role focuses on patient, person-centred care that keeps clients in familiar surroundings, following routines and offering calm companionship.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

You will be offering gentle, practical support rather than one fixed job. Typical tasks include helping maintain daily routines, prompting and reassuring, supporting personal care where agreed, preparing light meals, and spending quality time to reduce isolation. Work is often regular and relationship‑based, so patience, consistency and experience of dementia care are essential. Many carers in Bungay tell us they value being able to work with the same people and build trust over weeks and months.

PrimeCarers is designed for experienced, self‑employed carers who want more control than agency work usually allows. You choose your clients, hours and service area (Bungay and nearby towns such as Beccles, Loddon, Redenhall with Harleston, Halesworth, Carlton Colville and Thorpe St Andrew). PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical pay varies by assignment; the platform shows £19–£22.50 per hour for hourly care and £148–£162.50 per day for live‑in day rates so you can set rates that reflect your experience and availability.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience and the right to work in the UK. An Enhanced DBS check and verifiable references are also required — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if needed. Applications take minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re based in Bungay or travel between local towns and prefer work that focuses on dementia support at home, this is an ongoing stream of self‑employed opportunities rather than a single post.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
