Description
If you support people living with dementia with patience, routine and careful attention to familiar surroundings, there are ongoing opportunities in and around Redruth to work as a self-employed carer. Roles are centred on keeping people safe and supported at home — spending time with them, maintaining routines, helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal support and companionship. Families often value calm, predictable visits that preserve dignity and memory through everyday activities.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity: repeat visits, predictable hours and getting to know the same people over weeks and months. You choose the clients you work with, the hours and the service area, and you set your own rate. Typical pay for this kind of work is £18.89–£20 per hour depending on the support needed and your experience. Many carers coming from agency roles in Redruth find the control over their diary and clients makes this a better fit long term.
PrimeCarers introduces you to families in Redruth and nearby towns such as Camborne, Penryn, Truro, Falmouth, Hayle and Helston and across Cornwall. We handle the practical side: client introductions, contracts, invoicing and secure payments so you can focus on care. While you’re working with a family through PrimeCarers, insurance is included.
To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
