Description

Do you have experience supporting people living with dementia and prefer working in familiar homes rather than institutions? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Tadley, Hampshire who want calm, routine-led care delivered by someone patient and consistent. You’ll work with people who value gentle prompts, established routines and reassurance — helping them stay comfortable at home for as long as possible.

Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These opportunities are ongoing and flexible. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates, choose the clients you work with, and decide your hours and service area. Typical pay varies by role and client; many carers using the platform charge within £19–£22 per hour. PrimeCarers finds referrals, manages contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.

Work in Tadley and surrounding towns such as Basingstoke, Thatcham, Hook, Newbury, West Green and Reading, keeping appointments predictable and centred on routine-based support: medication prompts, meal preparation, companionship, simple activities to reduce confusion and anxiety, and careful, respectful personal care when needed. This role suits carers who are patient, observant and experienced with dementia communication techniques.

Requirements to join are straightforward and designed for experienced carers: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll remain self-employed, so you control your diary and availability while PrimeCarers covers the administrative side.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. There’s no single advertised shift here — the platform introduces you to families looking for ongoing dementia support so you can accept the work that fits your life. If you’re currently working through an agency and want more control and clarity in your work, this path makes switching straightforward without losing the professional support you need.

How to get started: sign up, add your experience and references, and book any help you need with an Enhanced DBS. Once verified, you’ll begin receiving matches from families in Tadley and nearby areas. If you value continuity of care, meaningful relationships and working calmly within people’s homes, PrimeCarers offers a way to keep doing the work you love — on your terms.
