Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Cwmbran who want compassionate, routine-led dementia support at home. You’ll help people stay in familiar surroundings, using patience, consistent routines and small practical strategies that keep days calm and meaningful. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is a stream of ongoing self-employed opportunities across Cwmbran and the wider Torfaen area. You choose your clients, your hours and the area you cover, and you set your own rates — many carers on the platform work within £18.80–£22 per hour depending on services and experience. Typical care work includes companionship, personal care, prompting medication, supporting mealtimes and keeping to familiar routines so clients with dementia feel safe and settled.
Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control than agency work offers. If you value continuity of care, relationship-led support and helping someone remain at home, you’ll find the work rewarding. Many carers come to PrimeCarers from local agencies because they prefer setting their own hours and building longer-term client relationships in Cwmbran, Usk and nearby towns such as Usk, Abertillery, Blaina, Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr and Abergavenny.
Pay and flexibility: you set your hourly rates and can negotiate different rates for hourly visits, short shifts and live-in days. PrimeCarers displays typical ranges so families know what to expect; common ranges are shown as £18.80–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. You will invoice through PrimeCarers and the platform handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
Requirements to join are straightforward: a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed at all times and choose the work that fits your life.
If you’re an experienced carer in Cwmbran thinking about stepping away from rota-driven agency life but want professional support with matches, contracts and payments, PrimeCarers may be the right fit. Create a profile, complete the checks and start connecting with families seeking calm, consistent dementia care at home.
