Description

If you have experience supporting people living with dementia and value the difference made by patience, routine and familiar surroundings, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families in Sandbach who need steady, thoughtful home care. You’ll work self‑employed, choosing the clients, hours and area you cover while helping maintain independence and dignity at home. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves companionship, practical support with daily routines, prompting medication and supporting mealtimes, as well as reassurance during unsettled moments. Many roles focus on keeping days familiar: repeating simple routines, using favourite objects or photos, and adapting to changing needs with calm, consistent approaches. This is a good fit for carers who prefer one‑to‑one relationships, continuity of care and the chance to see the real impact of their work in Sandbach and nearby communities.

As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own rates (most carers offer from £18.80–£20.50 per hour), choose the hours that suit you and decide how far you’ll travel. PrimeCarers finds potential clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you keep the autonomy of self‑employment without managing the admin alone.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single role here — we list ongoing opportunities across Sandbach and the surrounding Cheshire area so you can pick assignments that match your skills and availability.

Applying takes minutes: complete a profile, upload references and your DBS, then wait for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification and families can contact you directly. If you already work with people living with dementia and are thinking about leaving agency patterns for more control, PrimeCarers can make that transition straightforward and sustainable.

We work with carers across Sandbach and neighbouring towns such as Alsager, Middlewich, Crewe, Congleton, Kidsgrove and Winsford. If you want meaningful, home‑based dementia care work on your terms — keeping people comfortable in familiar surroundings and building long‑term trust — create a profile and see the kinds of connections that come through.
