Description

If you’re an experienced carer who prefers supporting people with dementia in their own homes, Cirencester offers meaningful, ongoing opportunities close to family, routine and familiar surroundings. Working with people in Gloucestershire towns and villages — including home visits that help preserve independence, memory cues and steady daily routines — you’ll focus on patience, companionship and practical support. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need dementia-friendly support at home. You choose your clients, the hours you work and the area you cover, and you set your own rates — typical roles sit around £18.80–£22 per hour. We find clients for you and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments. While you work, insurance is included.

The kind of support families look for in and around Cirencester includes gentle prompting with daily routines, companionship, helping with meals, medication reminders, mobility support and sensory activities that help reduce anxiety. These roles suit carers who work calmly, value consistency and can build trusting relationships over time. Many carers who join us are moving away from agency life because they want more choice and to spend time on quality care rather than managing rosters.

What we ask from you — at least one year of professional care experience; the right to work in the UK; verifiable references; and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one). We do not advertise a single job here but ongoing self-employed opportunities across Cirencester and nearby towns such as Cricklade, Fairford, Minchinhampton, Northleach, Tetbury and Painswick.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, provide your experience and references, and complete checks. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. From there, PrimeCarers introduces you to families whose needs match your skills and availability — you decide which introductions to accept.

Payments and paperwork are handled for you: contracts, invoicing and secure payments are managed by PrimeCarers so you can focus on care. If you offer live-in support, you can also set your own live-in day rates using the £145–£160 per day banding; for hourly care there’s the £18.80–£22 per hour banding to guide you. If you’re ready to bring stability, patience and warmth to people living with dementia in Cirencester, join PrimeCarers and take control of the work you do while still receiving administrative and insurance support.
