Description
Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Burntwood and surrounding Staffordshire communities. These roles focus on keeping routines, supporting familiar surroundings and offering patient, respectful companionship and practical help with day-to-day life. You’ll be working in a way that values continuity: familiar faces, predictable routines and gentle, person-centred care.
Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for this kind of role is £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers helps match you with families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
These ongoing opportunities suit people who have experience supporting someone through memory loss, confusion or a dementia diagnosis and who want to move away from agency rota pressures. If you like working with long-term routines, supporting meaningful activity and building relationships in people’s homes across Burntwood, Brownhills, Lichfield, Hednesford, Pelsall, High Heath and Cannock — or other nearby areas — this could be a better fit.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t yet have an Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one as part of the onboarding. You remain self-employed: you decide your schedule, choose the families you want to work with and confirm the hours you accept.
Pay and options are flexible: you choose a rate within the typical range and can offer hourly visits or live-in support where needed. PrimeCarers also publishes £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day to help you set competitive rates. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be matched to local families quickly.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control—over who you support, when you work and how you’re paid—PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. Build longer, more consistent relationships with clients who benefit from routine and familiar carers, and work across Burntwood and the wider Staffordshire area with clear paperwork and support behind you.
Ready to apply? It’s simple: create your profile, upload references and DBS details (or request help arranging one), then set your availability and rates. Families contact you through the platform and PrimeCarers handles the rest, so you can focus on care.
