Description
Join PrimeCarers to support people living with dementia in and around Ten Acres. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities to help keep people safe, comfortable and oriented in their own homes — working with patience, predictable routines and familiar surroundings. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Work typically involves building trusted daily routines, offering companionship, prompting or assisting with personal care, supporting mealtimes and medication prompts, and noticing changes that need family or professional input. The emphasis is on continuity: helping a person stay at home longer by keeping things familiar and calm rather than changing their environment.
This kind of work suits carers who know dementia care isn’t about quick tasks but about time, observation and steady communication with families. If you’re considering moving away from agency structures, Ten Acres offers a quieter area where strong relationships matter — and you may also find work nearby in North Tawton, Chulmleigh, Hatherleigh, Okehampton, Highampton and Great Torrington.
As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own fees and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates fall in the range £19–£19.20 per hour; you’ll also see £19–£19.20 per hour for hourly care and £148–£163 per day for live‑in day rates where applicable. PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, plus insurance is included while you work so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
To join you’ll 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 value steady, relationship‑based dementia care and want to shape your own working life in Ten Acres and across Devon, PrimeCarers connects you with families while handling the admin that can hold you back.
