Description

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Hessle, supporting routines, familiar surroundings and small, patient ways of doing things. These roles suit carers who prefer continuity, calm and relationship‑based care rather than quick call‑in visits. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

In practice you’ll be helping people stay at home by supporting daily routines, offering companionship, prompting medication when needed and working closely with family members to keep days predictable and comforting. Much of the work is about patience, observation and keeping familiar cues and activities in place. Many families in Hessle and parts of Kingston upon Hull welcome carers who can offer this steady, consistent support.

This platform is for experienced, self‑employed carers who want more control. You set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and you decide whether to take short visits or longer, live‑in support. Typical roles are £19–£20 per hour. If you’re used to agency life but want to pick the people you work with and keep continuity of care, this model could suit you.

  • Typical tasks: personal care with dignity, support with meals and routines, companionship and meaningful activity, safe transfers and mobility support where needed, clear record‑keeping and family updates.
  • Approach: gentle, routine‑led support, good communication with relatives, careful observation of changes and the confidence to adapt plans to what makes each person most comfortable.

PrimeCarers makes running your self‑employed care work simpler: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. You choose which jobs to accept and the area you cover — whether you prefer to stay around Hessle or visit nearby places such as Barton upon Humber, Brough, South Cave, Beverley, Winterton and Hedon.

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. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re an experienced dementia carer ready for more control over your work and the chance to offer steady, routine‑based support in Hessle, create a profile and start choosing the clients and hours that fit your life.
