Description

Support people living with dementia at home across Lowestoft, helping them keep familiar routines, comforts and independence. You’ll work with families who value patience, small consistent routines and a calm, reassuring presence in the home. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for experienced carers who prefer smaller, more personal visits or longer, consistent calls. Work might include companionship, support with daily routine, prompting medication, meaningful activities and gentle personal care when needed — always focused on preserving dignity and routine in the client’s own home in Lowestoft and the surrounding area.

PrimeCarers connects you to local families and handles the confusing bits: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical rates for similar roles are around £18.80–£22 per hour, and you can accept only the jobs that fit your diary.

This work suits carers who already have a calm, patient approach to dementia care, and who prefer working independently rather than through an agency. You’ll often be building long-term relationships that benefit from routine, continuity and small, thoughtful adjustments that help people stay at home longer. Many carers find that consistent, familiar patterns and clear handovers make the role deeply rewarding.

What we ask from you

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience, including supporting people with dementia where possible.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
  • Good communication and a careful, person-centred approach.
