Description

If you support people living with dementia at home and want to work independently around Presteigne, this page is for you.

Work typically involves building consistent routines, supporting mealtimes and medication prompts, encouraging simple activities and offering emotional reassurance during unsettled times. The role suits carers who have patience, observational skills and a calm manner — people who prefer one-to-one support in a familiar home rather than large, shift-driven settings.

  • Flexibility: As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose your clients and define your service area.
  • Rates: You choose what to charge — many carers in the area work within £19.10–£20 per hour depending on services and experience.
  • Local options: You can find work in Presteigne and the surrounding area, including Kington, Knighton, Old Radnor, Clun, Leominster and Cefnllys.

PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work. This means you focus on care, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can move from agency-style shifts to self-employed work quickly if you wish.

To join you’ll need 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 the DBS if you need it. We do not advertise a single job here: instead we promote ongoing opportunities that let you build a caseload you choose, working around life in Presteigne and across Powys.

If you value continuity for people living with dementia and want to work in homes where routine and familiar faces matter, this could be a better way to practise your skills. Create your profile, show your experience and references, and start seeing local requests.
