Description

Work as a self-employed dementia carer supporting people to stay at home in Tredegar and nearby towns. You’ll focus on patience, familiar routines and small adaptations that help memory and independence, providing personal care, companionship, medication prompts and activity-led support in a home setting. PrimeCarers arranges matches, contracts and payments so you can concentrate on the care. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who prefer one-to-one relationships and steady routines. You’ll spend time learning life history, using familiar prompts, keeping days predictable and adapting approaches as needs change. You might support someone for short visits, longer calls or live-in days where familiar surroundings matter most. Tredegar families often value consistency, so building trust and predictable patterns is key.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your own clients, hours and service area around Tredegar and across Blaenau Gwent. You set your own rate and availability — many carers list within £19–£22 per hour — and PrimeCarers handles client-finding, contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work, and the platform supports smoother administration so you keep more of your time for hands-on care.

What you’ll need to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience (ideally including dementia support).
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t have one.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references from recent roles.
