Description
Work with people living with dementia in their own homes around Potton, helping them stay comfortable, oriented and connected to familiar routines. You’ll support daily life — companionship, prompting, personal care, meal routines and reassuring presence — with patience and respect for each person’s rhythm. Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Potton and nearby communities including Sandy, Biggleswade, St Neots, Stotfold, Shefford and Arlesey. You’re in control: choose the clients you want to support, the hours you work and the area you cover. Typical rates for dementia support sit around £18.89–£20 per hour and vary by experience, travel and the needs of each client. For clarity, clients often budget within £18.89–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.
This type of work suits carers who value continuity, who can work calmly with routine, cueing and gentle reassurance, and who prefer building relationships rather than moving between short shifts. Many carers who join from agency roles appreciate being able to plan predictable visits, keep familiar routines for people with dementia, and reduce last-minute changes.
PrimeCarers matches you with families and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you are working. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates and select assignments that fit your skills and availability.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single job here but ongoing opportunities across Bedfordshire and the surrounding area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
If you’re a patient, experienced carer who values routine and building relationships, Potton families need reliable dementia support now. To apply, create a profile, upload your references and DBS or request our assistance, and tell families about the kind of dementia support you provide. Profiles that meet requirements often begin receiving enquiries within days — leaving you free to choose which clients are the right fit.
