Description
Work as a self-employed dementia support carer in East Cowes, helping people to stay at home with patience, familiar routines and reassurance. This role is about steadying days, keeping things familiar and supporting independence in a way that suits each person living with dementia. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
You’ll support people at home across East Cowes and around the Isle of Wight, working with families who value continuity and gentle, experienced care. Typical arrangements vary — many carers charge within £15–£25 per hour while others set different rates for hourly or live-in work such as £15–£25 per hour and £120–£180 per day. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and the area you cover.
PrimeCarers finds the families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less paperwork for you and more time focused on care. You’ll be matched with people whose needs suit your skills — for example supporting routines, companionship, prompting with daily tasks and offering calm, consistent company in familiar surroundings.
This work suits carers who value continuity and who prefer working directly with families rather than through rota-driven agency shifts. If you’re thinking of leaving agency work, PrimeCarers lets you keep the rewards of hands-on care while removing much of the administrative burden. Many carers who join from East Cowes find they can shape a diary that fits family life and travel across nearby towns such as Cowes, Lee on the Solent, Ryde, Gosport, Fareham and Brading.
