Description
Support people living with dementia to stay safe and comfortable at home in Uttoxeter. This work is about patience, simple routines and keeping life familiar for someone who needs extra time and calm. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for carers who prefer one-to-one home support rather than agency rotas. In Uttoxeter and surrounding areas you’ll spend time getting to know each person’s habits, using small regular tasks and gentle prompts to reduce anxiety and keep independence where possible. The role suits experienced, steady carers who value continuity over shift-chasing.
Pay and working style are flexible — carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical rates sit around £18.80–£20 per hour and you decide what reflects your experience and specialist skills. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care not paperwork.
Many carers joining us are looking to move away from agency-style routines and want more control over the people they support. If you live in or near Uttoxeter you’ll often visit the same person or family, support evening routines, help with memory-friendly activities, and work by building predictable, reassuring patterns rather than rushing tasks.
To apply you need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
