Description
If you have experience supporting people living with dementia and you want to work differently in Fleetwood, PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with local families. The role focuses on home-based support: building routines, keeping days familiar, offering patience and reassurance, and helping with personal care, medication prompts, light household tasks and meaningful companionship. Families often ask for consistency and small, predictable visits that help keep their relative at home for longer.
Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Fleetwood and nearby areas such as Cleveleys, Preesall, Thornton Cleveleys, Poulton le Fylde, Blackpool and Garstang. You choose the clients who fit your skills and values, the hours you work and the service area you cover. Many carers set rates within a typical band of £19–£21.30 per hour; for clarity you may see listings that reference £19–£21.30 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates, depending on the family’s needs.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer stability and relationship-led care. You’ll be supporting people who value routine, familiar surroundings and a calm approach when memory changes make the world confusing. Attention to small details — favourite snacks, music, walking routes, and ways to de-escalate anxiety — matters more than ticking boxes. If you’ve worked in care for at least a year and want to move away from agency rota pressures, this is for you.
PrimeCarers handles the introductions and the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find suitable families, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working through the platform. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, accept the clients you want and plan your diary.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start receiving matches quickly.

Whether you want regular daytime calls, evening companionship or shorter visits to support routines, PrimeCarers helps match you to families who value consistent, compassionate dementia care in Fleetwood and across Lancashire.
