Description

Help people living with dementia remain safe, calm and at home in Callington. As a self-employed dementia support carer with PrimeCarers you’ll work with families to keep routines, familiar surroundings and gentle companionship at the heart of care.

Typical pay for these roles is £18.80–£20 per hour.

This is an ongoing stream of self-employed opportunities across Callington and the surrounding area. Many carers cover nearby towns such as Liskeard, Saltash, Tavistock, Launceston, Torpoint and Looe — you pick the service area that suits you. Roles are ideal for experienced carers who want continuity with the same families, fewer one‑off calls and to build trusting relationships over weeks and months.

PrimeCarers makes the admin simple: we match you with families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work with a client. You set your own rates, choose your clients, and decide your hours and days. If you’re used to agency life but want more control, this lets you keep the professional care you give while taking charge of how you work.

Who this suits

  • Carers with at least 1 year of professional care experience, comfortable supporting people living with dementia.
  • Those who value routine, patience and using familiar cues to reduce anxiety and confusion.
  • People who want to work locally in Callington and Cornwall communities and prefer steady relationships over rotating shifts.

What we need from you

  • Minimum one year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes and creating your profile is straightforward; profiles typically go live within days once verified. We won’t promise specific income or shifts, but if you’re ready to move away from agency rota pressures and want to deliver consistent, compassionate dementia support in Callington, this route gives you the flexibility and the backing to do it.

To apply, complete the short sign‑up and upload your references and DBS. Once verified, you’ll be able to choose clients and start arranging visits that fit your life and the needs of the people you support.
