Description

Work with families in Tow Law to support people living with dementia who stay safer and happier at home with familiar routines, calm company and gentle encouragement. This role is about patience, consistency and protecting dignity while helping with day-to-day life. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities to support people in their own homes — not a single vacancy. Typical care arrangements include companionship, supporting routines, prompting or administering medication (where you are trained), personal care and working alongside family carers. You set the pace of visits and build trusting relationships that benefit from steady routines rather than frequent changes. Typical rates for this kind of work are £18.50–£20 per hour.

This work suits carers who value continuity and who prefer to avoid the strict rota systems of larger agencies. If you want to choose your own clients, hours and service area, PrimeCarers gives you that control while matching you with families in Tow Law and nearby towns such as Wolsingham, Crook, Greater Willington, Southside, Consett and Bishop Auckland. You’ll also find opportunities around Durham for people who can travel or offer live-in support.

What we ask for

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience supporting adults.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
