Description

Join a community of self-employed carers in Camelford supporting people living with dementia to stay comfortable at home. The work focuses on patience, familiar routines and small, steady moments of continuity — helping with personal care, prompting medication, keeping to reassuring daily patterns and offering gentle companionship in a client’s own surroundings. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing roles across Camelford and the surrounding parts of Cornwall, suited to carers who value the stability of regular home-based support rather than shift-driven agency rotas. You’ll help maintain routines, use reassurance and simple cues, and work with families to keep familiar objects, photographs and activities at the centre of care. Practical tasks vary by client but commonly include assistance with washing and dressing, meal support, medication prompts, mobility help and sitting with someone during the day or evening.

PrimeCarers connects you directly with families while you remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Typical roles in the area fall in the range £19–£20 per hour. Many carers advertise hourly rates of around £19–£20 per hour and live-in day rates of £148–£170 per day.

This kind of work suits experienced, calm carers who know the importance of routine and a slow-paced approach. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references, you can apply. We don’t advertise one specific job here — we’re offering ongoing self-employed opportunities across Camelford and nearby towns including Wadebridge, Bodmin, Padstow, Launceston, Lostwithiel and Liskeard.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile will typically go live within days. You remain in control: accept the clients and hours that fit your life, or expand into new areas of Cornwall when you’re ready.
