Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Malmesbury

These roles suit experienced carers who prefer the flexibility of self-employment and want to work locally in Wiltshire. Many carers value being able to build steady relationships, work within familiar houses and keep people in the routines they know. You set your own hours and your own rates — typical roles on the platform sit around £19–£22.50 per hour — then choose the clients who fit your way of working.

Typical tasks include:

• Supporting daily routines: personal care, medication prompts and mealtime assistance with dignity.
• Using familiar cues and activities to reduce distress and confusion.
• Pacing and communication tailored to each person’s needs, with calm reassurance and patience.
• Light domestic tasks and companionship to maintain a safe, recognisable home environment.

PrimeCarers matches you with families across Malmesbury and nearby towns such as Tetbury, Manor House, Chippenham, Nailsworth, Minchinhampton and Royal Wootton Bassett. You remain self-employed: you choose clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers who leave agency rotas find this way of working gives clearer boundaries, steadier relationships and more control over their day.

Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at experienced professionals: at least one year of paid care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t ask for a specific qualification on this page, but your experience supporting people with dementia at home is essential.

Pay and work patterns vary because you set your rates and choose assignments. Typical hourly-care ranges are shown as £19–£22.50 per hour and live-in day ranges as £145–£160 per day on profiles. Because you’re self-employed you invoice for the time you agree with families, and PrimeCarers manages payments so you’re paid promptly.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, add references and your DBS details, and once we verify them your profile usually goes live within days. If you want more control over who you care for and the chance to focus on dementia support in and around Malmesbury, this could be the right next step.
