Description

Work one-to-one with people living with dementia in their own homes across Flint and the surrounding area. This role is about patience, predictable routines and helping people stay in familiar surroundings for as long as possible — supporting mealtimes, evening routines, memory prompts, companionship and gentle personal care where needed. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing, self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who value continuity and close relationships. You’ll be working with people in their own homes in Flint and nearby communities, often building the same routines each week. Tasks commonly include:

  • Routine and companionship: keeping a steady day-to-day plan, prompting memory aids and sharing activities that comfort the person.
  • Practical support: help with washing, dressing, medication prompts, meal preparation and light household tasks as agreed with the family.
  • Communication: working with families to report changes, follow care notes and adapt routines sensitively.

Pay and working patterns are flexible. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for roles like this are £18.80–£20 per hour, with common ranges shown as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

You’ll be a good fit if you already have at least 1 year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many carers joining from agencies value the control of choosing their own work and keeping closer relationships with families across Flintshire and the local towns of Connahs Quay, Neston, Holywell, Shotton, Ewole and Mold.

Applying takes minutes. You create a profile, upload checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days — then PrimeCarers begins matching you with families whose needs fit your skills and availability.

If you want to stay local and focus on dementia support in Flint, we’ll help you find clients who value continuity and compassion. Create your profile and take control of the hours and clients you work with, while PrimeCarers manages the admin so you can focus on care.
