Join PrimeCarers to provide calm, patient dementia support to people who wish to stay in their own homes in Garnant.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Garnant and the surrounding area. You set your own hours, choose which clients to work with and decide how far you’ll travel from Garnant into Carmarthenshire and beyond. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates — a typical range is £17.50–£20.39 per hour — and you can offer hourly or live-in care depending on what suits you and the family.

This role suits an experienced carer who’s comfortable with the slower, relationship-led nature of dementia work. You’ll need patience, a calm approach to behavioural change, and an eye for keeping familiar routines in place. Tasks often include personal care, prompting medication, preparing meals, supporting mobility and offering meaningful activities that reflect the person’s history and interests. Communication with family members, written notes and a reliable approach to attendance are important.

PrimeCarers handles the business side so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, invoice and process payments, and provide insurance while you work. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Work in Garnant, or nearby towns such as Glanamman, Ammanford, Lliw Valey, Llandeilo, Neath and Gorseinon, and choose the pattern that fits your life — mornings, weekends, regular shifts or longer live-in assignments. Whether you’re thinking of leaving traditional agency work or simply want more control over your diary, PrimeCarers gives you the freedom to build relationships, keep to predictable routines for people living with dementia and work on your own terms.

If you’re ready to take the next step, create a profile and tell us about your experience. We’ll guide you through checks and references, help with an Enhanced DBS if needed, and support you as you start connecting with local families in Garnant and across Carmarthenshire.
