Description
Do you have experience supporting people living with dementia and want to work differently in Lincoln? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need patient, routine-led care at home — keeping people in familiar surroundings wherever possible. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically involves one-to-one support: building routines, prompting daily tasks, offering companionship, assisting with personal care where needed and adapting activities to reduce distress. You’ll spend time learning a person’s life story, using simple prompts and consistent approaches to reduce confusion and anxiety. This role suits carers who value continuity, gentle communication and a calm presence.
As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay falls within £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers who switch from agency work tell us they appreciate being able to decide how many hours to take and when to work, while keeping the familiar, person-centred approach central to their care.
Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. You’ll need a willingness to work patiently with people living with dementia and to follow care plans agreed with families. Typical duties are recorded and agreed before you start any placement.
PrimeCarers covers carers across Lincoln and surrounding areas, including Bracebridge, North Hykeham, Dunston, Wragby, Market Rasen and Gainsborough, so you can pick work close to home in Lincolnshire. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed: you invoice through the platform and manage your tax and expenses independently.
If you’re ready to keep people with dementia living at home with dignity and familiar routines, join PrimeCarers to take control of your diary and the way you deliver care. Create a profile, choose the roles that suit you, and start speaking directly with families who need your skills.
