As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for dementia support lies around £18.50–£20 per hour, and you can decide whether to offer short visits, longer calls or live‑in days. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work.

This work suits carers who value stability for people with dementia: arriving reliably, keeping to routines, noticing small changes and working with families to preserve independence in a familiar home. Many of our carers in Burnham on Sea are experienced former agency staff who want more control over their time and the clients they support. You’ll be working across Burnham on Sea and nearby towns such as Highbridge, Weston Otmoor, Weston super Mare, Bridgwater, Axbridge and Kilton and right across Somerset where families prefer home‑based dementia care.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
