Description

Support people living with dementia to stay safe and comfortable at home in Ruscote. This work is about patience, simple routines and keeping familiar surroundings — helping with daily tasks, companionship, prompting and reassuring through the day, and working with families to keep consistent patterns that reduce distress. Many carers moving off rota-driven agency shifts find this role gives more control and a stronger relationship with the people they support while still working across Ruscote and neighbouring areas in Oxfordshire.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area, and can expect typical rates around £19.20–£22 per hour depending on needs and experience. PrimeCarers finds suitable clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care.

The kind of support you’ll provide often includes reassuring and re-orienting a person with memory loss, following agreed daily routines, prompting with meals, medication reminders, light domestic tasks to keep a familiar home environment, and working closely with family members to notice changes. This work suits carers who are calm, consistent, observant and experienced in dementia care, and who value continuity over frequent new faces.

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 a DBS if you don’t have one. You’ll be self-employed, so you manage your diary and set the level of commitment that suits you.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control — choosing the people you support in Ruscote and nearby towns such as Neithrop, Banbury, Brackley, Shipston on Stour, Chipping Norton and Southam — PrimeCarers can make the switch straightforward. Applying takes minutes, profiles usually go live within days of verification, and you’ll be able to accept only the shifts and clients that fit your life.

We don’t promise specific hours or income, but we do create the platform and paperwork to let experienced carers focus on what they do best: safe, familiar, person-centred dementia care in people’s homes across Ruscote and the wider Oxfordshire area.
