Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Calne who need compassionate, patient support for people living with dementia. You’ll work in clients’ own homes, helping to keep routine, familiar surroundings and meaningful daily patterns — everything that helps someone with dementia feel safer and more comfortable. You decide who you work with, when and where, and you set your own rates.
Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The kind of dementia support work you might do includes gentle prompting for daily tasks, companionship and meaningful activities, help with personal care where needed, monitoring wellbeing and communicating changes to a family contact. Much of the value you bring is your patience, calm approach, consistency and respect for a person’s history and preferences.
These ongoing self-employed opportunities are ideal if you’re experienced and want to move away from agency rotas. If you’re used to working in the community, live-in or hourly care, or supporting people in their own homes in Calne and nearby areas such as Chippenham, Devizes, Melksham, Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett and Manor House, you’ll find roles to suit flexible hours and different levels of commitment.
Pay and practical details: typical care rates range £19–£22.50 per hour. You can advertise either hourly work (£19–£22.50 per hour) or live-in day rates (£145–£160 per day) on your profile. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work for a client found through the platform.
Requirements to join are straightforward: 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 don’t post a single role here — this page advertises ongoing opportunities across Calne and Wiltshire for experienced carers ready to work directly with families.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and preferences, submit checks and references, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can choose which enquiries to accept, keep the hours you want and build long-term relationships with people who value continuity of care.
