Support people living with dementia to stay safely at home in Heathfield, keeping routines, familiar surroundings and calm company. These ongoing self‑employed opportunities are for carers who value patience, consistency and relationship-led care. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves supporting someone through their day: gentle prompting, companionship, supporting personal care, helping with meals, keeping to familiar routines and noticing changes in behaviour or wellbeing. You’ll be focused on maintaining dignity and calm — people with dementia benefit from the same carer returning where possible, so reliable, patient professionals are especially sought after. Many of the roles are in private homes across Heathfield and the surrounding East Sussex area, where continuity and familiarity make a real difference.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for this kind of work is £19.20–£21 per hour and you can indicate if you prefer hourly or live‑in work (£19.20–£21 per hour / £146–£162.50 per day). You decide when and where you work, whether you want short calls, regular days or longer live‑in support around Heathfield and nearby towns such as Uckfield, Hailsham, Wadhurst, Crowborough, Polegate and Battle.

PrimeCarers brings you the clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work on a placement found through the platform. To join you need 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. These are ongoing self‑employed roles — this page advertises the type of opportunities available rather than a single job.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. When your profile is active you can review client requests and accept only those who suit you.
