Description
Work as a self‑employed carer supporting people living with dementia in their own homes around Ruthin. This role focuses on gentle, routine‑based support: helping with daily tasks, keeping familiar rhythms, using patience and clear communication, and preserving choice and dignity. Families in Ruthin value continuity and carers who can offer calm, consistent presence in a known environment.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This is ideal for experienced care workers who want to move away from agency rota work and build deeper relationships. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and your service area, and you set your own rates within the local range (typical rates are £15–£25 per hour). Many carers focus on companionship, medication prompts, meal support, light domestic tasks and working with families to maintain routine and reduce distress.
Pay can be arranged for regular hourly visits or live‑in support depending on the family's needs. Typical ranges are shown as £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145.50–£160.50 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance for the time you are booked to work, so you can concentrate on caring.
To join you 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. You’ll keep the control you want: choose the work that suits your skills and availability across Ruthin and throughout Denbighshire, including nearby towns such as Gellifor, Denbigh, Mold, Caerwys, Carrog and Corwen.
Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and tell us the kind of dementia care you provide. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can begin receiving enquiries from families across Ruthin and the surrounding area.
If you’re leaving agency life because you want more autonomy, clearer hours and closer relationships with clients, PrimeCarers gives you the platform and admin support while you remain fully self‑employed and in charge of your work. If you have questions about working patterns, rates or DBS checks, our onboarding team can guide you step by step.
