What the work looks like: hourly home visits to help with washing, dressing, toileting support, preparing drinks and meals, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, shopping or collecting prescriptions, and spending time to reduce loneliness. Visits are usually one‑to‑one and take place in people’s homes rather than care settings. This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Shaftesbury rather than one specific role.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control than agency life offers. You’ll choose your own clients, hours and the area you cover — many carers who move to PrimeCarers want predictable daytime work and the ability to set their own routine in and around Shaftesbury.

Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates. Typical rates sit at £19–£24 per hour, and you decide how much to charge within that market. You also choose which visits to accept, the hours you work and your service area — for many people that includes nearby towns like Tisbury, Mere, Sturminster Newton, Stalbridge, Wincanton and Blandford Forum.

What PrimeCarers handles: we introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working on a placed shift. That means you can focus on care rather than admin.

Requirements to join:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and accept visits that suit your availability. Many carers from local towns choose PrimeCarers to build a more sustainable, flexible day‑to‑day routine in Shaftesbury and across Dorset.
