Description

Join PrimeCarers to offer dementia support in Par and the surrounding area, working with people who want to remain at home where routine and familiar faces matter. You’ll focus on gentle, patient care: helping with daily routines, supporting memory through reminiscence and structured activities, keeping the home safe and calm, and working alongside families to preserve dignity and independence. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This listing advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single role. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and choose their own clients, hours and service area — many carers in and around Par prefer the continuity this brings. You set your own rates and availability, and typical pay for dementia support roles sits at £20–£25 per hour depending on the care required and your experience.

What the work looks like: you might support a person with medication prompts, guidance with meals, walking and mobility assistance within the home, companionship, and calming routines that help manage anxiety or confusion. Shifts vary because you pick them — some carers prefer regular morning or evening calls, others offer longer live‑in support. For reference, typical ranges are £20–£25 per hour for hourly care and £147.50–£170 per day for live‑in day rates.

PrimeCarers handles the admin that can wear you down: we find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working through the platform. That means more time doing what you trained for and less time chasing paperwork. Apply in minutes and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days.

Who this suits: experienced carers wanting more autonomy than agency work, people who value building relationships over time with the same families, and those comfortable delivering dementia care with patience and routine. You need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Par is well placed for work across the south Cornwall coastline—many carers also cover nearby towns such as St Blazey, Charlestown, Fowey, St Austell, Lostwithiel and Bodmin—so you can choose a practical service area that fits your travel plans. If you’re ready for predictable clients, clearer paperwork and the freedom to shape your care practice, creating a PrimeCarers profile is quick and practical.
