Description

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Wilmslow and nearby areas. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who want support that keeps routines, familiar surroundings and dignity at the centre. You’ll work one-to-one, supporting daily routines, medication prompts, companionship and person-centred practical care while helping families stay together at home.

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

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific role. Carers on PrimeCarers choose their own clients, hours and service area, and they set their own rates — typical roles fall in the range £18.50–£20 per hour. For clarity, you’ll usually see listings showing £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care.

This work suits experienced carers who are patient, calm and comfortable building routines. Tasks often include supporting morning and evening routines, meal preparation, prompting medication, gentle mobility assistance, reassurance during confusing moments, and keeping a familiar environment. You’ll be asked to work with families to maintain regular daily patterns and use consistent approaches that reduce distress and confusion.

We usually look for carers with at least one 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 should be used to recording care sensitively and communicating clearly with families and other professionals. If you currently work through an agency and want more control over the clients and hours you accept, PrimeCarers is built for that transition.

Many of our carers work across Wilmslow, serving nearby communities like Dollar, Peel Hall, Ringway, Cheadle Hulme, Benchill and Cheadle and other parts of Cheshire. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll remain self-employed, choosing which clients to accept and when to work, while PrimeCarers supports the back-office tasks that can otherwise eat hours from your week.

If you want more control over your work, the chance to build meaningful relationships with people living with dementia, and to be paid the rate you set, create your PrimeCarers profile today — it’s straightforward to get started and you can be matched with local families in and around Wilmslow within days.
