Description
Do you have a calm, patient approach and experience supporting people living with dementia? Around Hunstanton you can help clients stay at home where routines and familiar surroundings matter most. PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who need steady, compassionate support — companionship, assistance with daily routines, prompting medication, and gently managing changes to behaviour as part of a regular home care plan.
Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing, self‑employed opportunities suitable for experienced care workers who prefer one‑to‑one work and continuity over shifting rotas. You choose who you work with, the hours that fit your life and the service area you cover. Many carers set rates within £15–£25 per hour; others use £15–£25 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for live‑in days. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and includes insurance while you are working.
Hunstanton is a coastal town with a mix of older residents and families who want to keep relatives at home for as long as possible. You’ll be supporting people through small but meaningful routines: familiar breakfasts, short walks by the seafront when appropriate, consistent evening rituals, tailored prompts and reassurance during confused moments. This role suits practitioners who work calmly under pressure, value patience and can build trust over weeks and months.
We look for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’ve come from agency work and are tired of imposed rota churn, PrimeCarers lets you retain the freedom of self‑employment while removing the admin: we arrange contracts, chase payments and provide insurance during shifts.
Working through PrimeCarers means your profile takes minutes to create and — after verification — typically goes live within days. You can accept work in Hunstanton or nearby towns such as Kings Lynn, Wells next the Sea, Skegness, Wainfleet, Fakenham and Burgh le Marsh and decide whether you prefer short visits, block hours or regular, long‑term visiting patterns. There is no single role being advertised here: these are ongoing matches between self‑employed carers and families seeking reliable dementia support at home.
To apply, complete a short profile, upload your references and DBS (or ask for help arranging one) and choose your availability. If you want predictable, compassionate work close to home in Norfolk and the Hunstanton area, PrimeCarers makes the practical side straightforward so you can focus on excellent care.
