Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Nottingham who want dementia support at home. You’ll be supporting people to stay comfortable and familiar in their own surroundings, keeping to gentle routines, offering patient companionship and practical help with daily living. Carers on PrimeCarers choose their own clients, hours and service area — and they set their own rates.

Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical dementia support includes building predictable routines, prompting medication, offering reassurance during disorientation, supporting mealtimes and personal care with dignity. The role suits carers who prefer relationship-based work rather than task-driven visits: people who can stay calm during confusion, encourage small steps of independence and work slowly to maintain familiar rhythms for each person in their home in Nottingham.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands: you set the rate you want per hour and choose the hours that fit your life. Typical roles advertise at £18.50–£20.50 per hour. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work. You choose the clients you accept and the area you cover, whether that’s central Nottingham or round the suburbs and nearby towns such as West Bridgefield, Beeston, Carlton, Bulwell, Arnold and Netherfield.

To join we ask for practical experience and reliable checks so families can trust you. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify those quickly so your profile can go live within days.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control over who you support and when, this is an ongoing opportunity to move to self-employed work while keeping the safeguards you rely on. PrimeCarers makes the admin simpler so you can focus on the person in front of you. Applying takes minutes, and most carers are matched and accepting bookings soon after verification.

If you live in Nottingham or elsewhere in Nottinghamshire and you have the patience and skills for dementia care, create a profile to start seeing opportunities straight away. You remain self-employed, pick clients that fit your strengths, and keep the compassionate, consistent care people with dementia need at home.
