Description
Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes across Pudsey and surrounding parts of West Yorkshire. You’ll help preserve routine, familiarity and independence — gentle support with personal care, medication prompts, companionship, daily routines and activities that calm and connect. Many families want carers who can bring patience, consistency and clear communication.
Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than one specific post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit them. Typical roles fall around £18.50–£19.50 per hour for hourly care. PrimeCarers finds suitable clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
Who this suits: experienced carers who value continuity of care and want to work in familiar home settings. If you prefer building relationships over time, keeping routines consistent and reducing hospital or residential moves, this could be a better fit than short, fragmented shifts. Many carers who switch from agency work tell us they appreciate choosing clients in Pudsey and nearby areas such as Farsley, Bradford, Horsforth, Morley, Yeadon and Shipley so they can work locally and reliably.
Typical duties include companionship, supporting morning and evening routines, meal support, mobility assistance, safe transfers where trained, emotional reassurance, simple household tasks and clear note‑taking for families. Tasks depend on each client’s needs and the agreement you make with a family.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll remain self‑employed and free to accept or decline assignments in Pudsey and beyond.
How to apply: it takes minutes to complete your profile and upload references. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which PrimeCarers will start introducing suitable family matches. There is no single shift pattern or income promise — you pick the clients and hours that fit your life in Pudsey.
