Description

Looking for self-employed dementia care work in Salisbury? PrimeCarers connects experienced private carers directly with families who want to keep their loved ones living at home. The role focuses on supporting people living with dementia through patience, familiar routines and consistent companionship. You will help with personal care, meal routines, medication prompts, meaningful activities and reassurance, allowing clients to stay in their own surroundings.
Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits carers who prefer continuity and a more personal relationship with families. If you are tired of rotating rotas or agency-driven shift lists, you can choose the clients you accept and the hours you work in Salisbury and across Wiltshire. You set your own rates and can expect typical ranges of £19–£22.50 per hour. For clarity, many carers use £19–£22.50 per hour for hourly visits or £145–£160 per day for live-in days depending on the situation.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find families, arrange contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain completely self-employed: you choose your clients, your service area and your working pattern.

Requirements to join are practical and simple:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally including dementia support
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references from recent care roles
