Description

Are you an experienced carer who prefers the patience, routine and familiarity that help people with dementia stay well at home? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Skegness who want consistent, person-centred support in familiar surroundings. You’ll work with people who benefit from steady routines, gentle prompts, companionship and respectful encouragement. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work looks like: you’ll support people living with dementia at home with tasks such as companionship, prompting with daily routines, supporting personal care where needed, helping with meals and light domestic tasks that preserve independence, and liaising with families about small changes in condition. Shifts can be daytime visits, evening checks or live‑in support depending on the family’s preferences. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities — you choose the clients whose needs match your experience and approach.

Who this suits: you’re someone who values continuity, knows how to keep calm under stress, and can build trust through routine and humour. Many carers coming from agency roles find greater satisfaction supporting the same people over weeks and months rather than rotating through many short shifts. If you have at least one year of professional care experience and enjoy working in people’s homes across Skegness and surrounding areas such as Burgh le Marsh, Wainfleet, Alford, Spilsby, Mablethorpe and Sutton and Mablethorpe, this could be a good fit.

Pay and flexibility: carers set their own rates on PrimeCarers, typically around £15–£25 per hour depending on experience and the client’s needs. You can set the times you work, choose which clients to accept, and define your service area. Typical hourly and live‑in ranges are £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you get the freedom without the paperwork.

Entry requirements: to join you will 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 verify profiles quickly — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Lincolnshire and want more control over your hours and the relationships you build, this is a practical next step.

How to apply: create your PrimeCarers profile, list your experience and the dementia care you specialise in, upload or request help with your DBS, and add references. Families contact you directly through the platform; you decide which introductions to accept. If you’re ready to offer steady, compassionate support to people in Skegness and nearby towns while keeping your independence, get started today.
