Description

Work directly with families in Corby to support people living with dementia at home. This role suits carers who value patience, predictable routines and keeping clients in familiar surroundings. You’ll help with day-to-day living, companionship, medication prompts, mealtime support and encouraging activities that preserve independence — always adapting to each person’s needs and pace.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Corby and nearby towns such as Desborough, Kettering, Rothwell, Uppingham, Burton Latimer and Oundle. You set your own rates and hours, choosing the clients and service area that fit your life. Typical pay is flexible — you set a rate within £18.60–£21 per hour and decide between hourly or live-in work using £18.60–£21 per hour or £145–£160 per day where appropriate. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

This work is right for you if you already have at least one year of professional care experience and want more control than an agency model offers. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’re experienced supporting people with dementia, know how to use routine and environment to reduce distress, and can work calmly when things change, families in Corby and across Northamptonshire will value your skills.

We’re looking for carers who bring kindness, patience and practical problem-solving. Typical tasks include supporting personal care, safe moving and handling (within your training), prompting medication, structured activities and clear record-keeping for families. You’ll work in the client’s home, helping them remain comfortable and connected to the life they know.

Applying takes minutes online and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests and accept the work that fits your schedule. PrimeCarers is not a traditional employer: you’ll work as a self-employed carer, set your own hours and manage your diary, while we take care of the admin that can slow you down.

If you’re ready to switch to a more independent way of working while continuing to deliver sensitive, expert dementia care in Corby, create your profile today and start hearing from local families.
