Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed dementia support carer working with people who want to stay at home in Ferndown and around Dorset. You’ll help clients who are living with dementia to keep familiar routines, remain safe and feel understood — tasks usually include companionship, prompting daily routines, supporting personal care and offering calm, consistent company in the client’s own home. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, local work rather than a single job listing. Carers set their own rates and choose which families, hours and service area to accept, with a typical range of £19–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You keep control of when and where you work in and around Ferndown and nearby: Wimborne Minster, Verwood, Ringwood, Christchurch, Fordingbridge and Highcliffe.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer continuity and relationships over shift‑by‑shift agency work. You’ll do best if you value patience, predictable routines, small‑changes communication and the practical skills of supporting people with memory loss. Many carers move to self‑employment because they want to build steadier support for one or two households, maintain consistency for clients and take more control over their work-life balance in Ferndown.

Typical duties include:

• Maintaining calm, predictable routines and supporting memory prompts
• Assisting with personal care, meal support and medication prompts as agreed
• Providing companionship, meaningful activities and low‑risk mobility support
• Clear record‑keeping, liaising with families and following agreed care plans

• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
