This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Saxmundham and nearby villages including Leiston, Framlingham, Aldeburgh, Dunwich, Orford and Halesworth. Work is for people who prefer the variety and autonomy of self-employed care rather than agency rosters. You choose which clients to accept, when you work and how far you’ll travel. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work.

Pay is set by you: typical rates for dementia care on PrimeCarers range from £19–£22 per hour depending on experience, hours and the level of support required. You can offer hourly visits or live-in days; the platform supports both types of arrangements with flexible listings and clear paperwork. Many carers use the £19–£22 per hour and £145–£160 per day tokens to set expectations on their profile.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers — at least a year of professional care experience supporting older people or those living with dementia.
• Calm, routine-focused practitioners — someone who values predictable days, repetition and a patient approach to communication.
• People who want autonomy — if you’re ready to choose your clients and build local relationships in Saxmundham and across Suffolk rather than follow agency rotas.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will guide you through verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create your profile, upload references and DBS (or request help arranging one), set your service area around Saxmundham, choose your rates and mark your availability. Once verified, you’ll be visible to families searching for dementia support in the area. The platform supports clear contracts and handles invoicing and payments, so you can focus on quality care.
