Description
Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes in Cleator Moor and the surrounding communities. This role is about patience, maintaining routine and keeping things familiar — helping with daily tasks, prompting, companionship, and supporting safe, calm days in the places people know best. You’ll be working as a self‑employed carer, choosing who you support and when you work. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
PrimeCarers connects experienced carers with families across Cleator Moor and nearby areas such as Egremont, Orgill, Whitehaven, Workington, Cockermouth and Maryport. You’ll often visit clients in familiar homes in Cleator Moor and elsewhere in Cumbria, helping preserve routines, memory cues and dignity. Shifts vary by family: short calls, longer daytime visits or regular evenings. This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than one specific role.
Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of work sit in the range £15–£25 per hour. Many carers list hourly and live‑in options on their profiles — you can set both an hourly figure and a day rate to suit your availability and the family's needs (see your profile settings for £15–£25 per hour and £145.50–£160 per day examples).
Who this suits: if you have at least 1 year’s professional care experience supporting people with dementia, value consistency and calm, and prefer working one‑to‑one in people’s homes, this is a good fit. You will be relied on for patience, clear communication with families, and safe, person‑centred routines. Many carers who leave agency rostering find the regularity and relationships here more rewarding.
What PrimeCarers handles: we find you clients and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you are working with a family arranged through the platform. You remain self‑employed and in control of your diary.
Requirements to join: at least 1 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 many profiles go live within days of verification.
How to apply: create a profile, add your experience supporting people with dementia, upload references and DBS (or request help with a new check), and choose your preferred areas (including Cleator Moor). Families contact you directly through the platform and you decide which requests to accept. Most carers are live on the platform within days.
