Description

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work looks like: you’ll provide personalised, person-centred care to people living with dementia in their own homes. Tasks often include companionship, supporting routines like mealtimes and medication prompts, light domestic tasks, mobility assistance and reassurance during confusing moments. Shifts vary — many carers work regular morning or afternoon calls, some provide longer daytime visits and others offer live-in support. You choose the hours and clients that suit you.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical work sits around £19–£21.80 per hour, with opportunities across £19–£21.80 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160.50 per day for live-in days depending on the support needed. You keep control of your availability, service area and which families you accept.

Who this suits: if you have at least one year of professional care experience and want to move away from agency life, this role is designed for you. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We work with carers based in Winchelsea and throughout East Sussex, including those who travel to nearby towns such as Rye, Ore Valley, Hastings, Lydd, Battle and Tenterden.
