This is ongoing, self-employed work arranged through PrimeCarers: you choose the clients you take on, the hours you work and the area you cover. We match you with families looking for skilled dementia care at home across Bridport and nearby towns like Beaminster, Lyme Regis, Crewkerne, Axminster, Chard and Chickerell. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, with common hourly and live-in ranges shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

Who this suits: experienced carers used to relationship-led care who want to move away from agency rota pressures and repetitious rostering. If you value continuity — visiting the same person regularly, learning their life story and small cues — you’ll find this work deeply rewarding. Many carers who join PrimeCarers appreciate being able to plan days around clients’ routines, not the other way round.

Requirements to join are straightforward and designed to keep standards high: 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. We do ask you to be honest about your experience with dementia care so families can make informed choices.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork: we find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and take care of payments. While you’re working with a client arranged through PrimeCarers, insurance is included. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and keep control of your working life.

How to apply: create a profile online — it takes minutes — upload or request help with your DBS and references, then wait for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you’ll start receiving client introductions once you’re approved. If you’re based in Bridport or cover parts of Dorset and want meaningful home-based dementia work with flexibility and support, join PrimeCarers and take control of your care work.
