Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Gorleston who want dementia support at home. You’ll be working with people who benefit from patience, familiar routines and continuity of care, helping them stay safe and comfortable in their own home. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Gorleston and the surrounding area, including Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth, Caister on Sea, Lowestoft, Carlton Colville and Acle. Work typically focuses on person-centred support: maintaining routines, prompting personal care, supporting mealtimes, companionship, managing medication prompts where appropriate and helping families with day-to-day strategies that keep a person with dementia calm and engaged. Many families prefer carers who can provide predictable, familiar faces rather than frequent changes of staff.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want to move away from rigid agency rotas. You set your own hourly rate and decide which clients, hours and neighbourhoods you’ll work in. Typical roles fall within £19–£21.50 per hour and can include short visits, longer daytime support or live-in arrangements. You remain self-employed and choose how much you accept.

We support you practically: PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. That administrative support means you can focus on care, not paperwork.

If this suits you, 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. We do checks to keep families and carers safe, and we typically verify profiles quickly so you can start taking enquiries.

  • Who this suits: Experienced carers who value continuity, patience and building relationships with people living with dementia.
  • Type of work: Home-based dementia support in Gorleston and nearby towns, offering routine-led, calm, person-centred care.
  • Flexibility: Choose hours that fit your life and set the areas you’ll travel to across Norfolk.
  • Pay and arrangements: You decide your rate; typical ranges are shown when you create a profile (see £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days).

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload ID and references, and we’ll guide you through DBS support if needed. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then PrimeCarers will introduce you to families whose needs match your skills and availability. If you’re used to agency work but want more control and the chance to build lasting relationships in Gorleston and across Norfolk, this could be the next step for your care career.
