This role is about patience, predictable routines, and small practical and emotional supports that make everyday life more comfortable for someone with memory loss. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you’ll focus on personalised, home-based dementia support: maintaining daily routines, supporting mealtimes and medication prompts, encouraging meaningful activity, providing companionship and helping with personal care when needed. You’ll prioritise consistency and calm communication, using your experience to adapt to each person’s changing needs while keeping them in the home they know.

This work suits experienced carers who value continuity and relationships. If you have at least one year of professional care experience and want to choose the clients and hours that fit your life, this could be the step away from agency models. Many carers who join PrimeCarers tell us they prefer the predictable relationships and the chance to work in a single person’s home rather than moving between short shifts.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their hours and service area. Typical rates for dementia support in this area are £18.60–£20.20 per hour and you can accept hourly or live-in arrangements that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working through the platform.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one) and verifiable references. We support carers through verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can work in Raunds and nearby towns such as Higham Ferrers, Irthlingborough, Thrapston, Rushden, Burton Latimer and Wellingborough, covering Northamptonshire communities where support is needed.

How to apply: create your profile, list the dementia care experience and skills you bring, upload or request help with an Enhanced DBS if required, and add references. Once verified, you’ll be visible to families looking for steady, reliable dementia support in Raunds. Many carers find the move from agency work rewarding — more control, clearer relationships and time to deliver the compassionate, routine-based care people with dementia need.
