Description
Experienced carers in Rugeley who want to focus on dementia support are invited to join PrimeCarers. This work is about patience, predictable routines and helping people stay at home in familiar surroundings. You’ll work with families who value consistency and a calm approach; as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own clients, hours and rates.
Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Dementia support roles typically involve companionship, structured daily routines, prompting with personal care, medication reminders, and adapting activities so they remain meaningful. Many families prefer someone who can keep things familiar rather than introduce frequent staff changes. If you enjoy building relationships, working with memory-friendly approaches and helping people retain independence at home, this is the kind of support you’ll provide across Rugeley and nearby communities like Hednesford, Cannock, Burntwood, Lichfield, Penkridge and Brownhills.
Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates. Typical ranges for these roles are £18.50–£20 per hour. You can offer hourly visits (common ranges shown as £18.50–£20 per hour) or live‑in support (see typical day ranges: £145–£160 per day) depending on what you want to work. PrimeCarers does not prescribe shifts — you decide what fits your life.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on quality care rather than paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start being discovered by families around Rugeley quickly.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not recruit people without these checks because safety and trust are essential when supporting people with dementia. Many carers moving away from agency rotas find PrimeCarers a straightforward way to keep doing the care they love across Staffordshire with more control over their working pattern.
