Description
If you’ve built your skills supporting people with dementia and prefer the stability of home-based care, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families around Cricklade who want patient, routine-focused support that keeps people in familiar surroundings. You’ll support clients who benefit from steady routines, gentle prompts and compassionate companionship — all delivered with dignity and respect.
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical tasks include personal care, medication prompts, companionship, supporting daily routines, and working with families to maintain familiar patterns that reduce confusion and distress. Work is deeply relational: the best matches are made with carers who bring patience, clear routines, observational care and a calm approach to memory loss.
PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want to move away from restrictive agency rotas. You’ll be self-employed, set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many dementia carers on the platform advertise rates within £19.20–£22 per hour; typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown by the platform as £19.20–£22 per hour and £147.50–£163.50 per day. You decide what fits your life and availability.
We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work with a family. That means you can focus on care, not admin. If you cover Cricklade and the surrounding towns of Fairford, Highworth, Royal Wootton Bassett, Cirencester, Lechlade and Malmesbury, PrimeCarers will help you reach families looking for steady, relationship-based dementia support.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We also expect thoughtful, person-centred practice and a commitment to safe, consistent routines for people living with dementia.
Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, you can review enquiries and choose who you work for — no imposed rotas, no fixed shifts unless you want them. Several carers in Wiltshire prefer this route for the control and closer relationships it allows.
