Description
If you support people living with dementia and prefer the stability of home care, PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Corbridge and the surrounding Northumberland area. Work that suits you means helping people keep routines, familiar surroundings and dignity — whether that’s companionship over a cuppa, supporting morning and evening routines, or following personalised approaches that reduce anxiety and confusion.
Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing opportunities across Corbridge and nearby towns such as Hexham, Stockfield, Prudhoe, Ryton, Consett and Blaydon on tyne. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical care work for dementia support falls within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for live‑in days. We also publish the typical rate range for the role so families and carers have a clear expectation: £18.50–£20 per hour.
This role suits carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You will need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange that for you. Because carers on our platform are self‑employed, you manage your diary and commitments, and you can choose to take weekday calls, evenings or longer shifts if that fits your life in Corbridge or elsewhere in Northumberland.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on delivering calm, consistent dementia support. We do not offer a single posted position here; instead we advertise ongoing self‑employed opportunities across the area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable family requests without long waits.
If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you support and when, this platform gives you that freedom while taking care of the admin. To apply, create a profile, submit your references and DBS details (or ask us to help with DBS), and complete verification. You’ll then be visible to families seeking dependable dementia care in Corbridge and nearby communities.
Working this way lets you build relationships, keep people in familiar surroundings for longer, and practise dementia care with patience and routine — all while running your own self‑employed care business with PrimeCarers’ practical support.
