Description
If you’re an experienced carer who prefers the trust and calm of supporting people in their own homes, St Just has ongoing opportunities to work with people living with dementia. You’ll help keep routines, encourage familiar activities and bring patience and reassurance to daily life. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
These roles are for self-employed carers who want more control than agency life usually offers. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers in and around St Just travel to local communities including Newlyn, Penzance, Marazion, St Ives, Hayle and Porthleven — keeping support local and consistent for the people you help. You’ll often be maintaining small routines: preparing familiar meals, prompting medication, guiding gentle activity and being a steady presence when confusion or distress arises.
Pay and flexibility are straightforward. You set your own rate from £15–£25 per hour and can decide whether to offer short visits, longer day support or live-in care. PrimeCarers takes care of finding clients and handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. This model suits carers who value continuity of relationship and the chance to support someone in their own home for longer periods than typical agency shifts allow.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it. We’re looking for people who understand dementia care: patience, observation, a willingness to follow routines and the ability to adapt to what helps each person feel safe and understood.
Applying takes minutes and you can be ready to accept work quickly: profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers lists ongoing self-employed opportunities across St Just and nearby parts of Cornwall, so you can build a schedule that fits your life while offering dependable, familiar support to the families you work with.
If you’re ready to move away from agency shifts and offer dementia care with dignity and consistency in St Just, start your PrimeCarers profile now. The platform is designed to get you into meaningful home-based work without the usual admin burden.
