Description
Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Congleton and the surrounding area, helping them keep familiar routines, stay comfortable and feel safe in places they know best. The role suits carers who bring patience, consistency and practical experience to support memory, daily structure and companionship. Right now, 15 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — many carers charge within a typical range of £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the support needed. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care.
What the work looks like: supporting familiar daily routines, reducing anxiety through predictable patterns, encouraging independence where possible and working calmly when memory or behaviour changes. You may work short visits, longer daytime calls or live-in support where needed — the right match depends on each client and your preferences. This page promotes roles across Congleton and nearby towns such as Biddulph, Kidsgrove, Alsager, Sandbach, Tunstall and Macclesfield so you can work close to home.
Who this suits: experienced care workers who prefer the flexibility of self-employment and want to keep building specialist dementia experience. Many carers move to PrimeCarers after agency work for better control over hours and better continuity with clients. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange one for you.
Practical points: you choose your clients and hours, set your own hourly or live-in rates, and manage your diary. PrimeCarers takes care of client introductions, the paperwork and secure payment processing, and provides cover while you are on assignments. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be matched to new clients in the Congleton area quickly.
