Description

Right now, 15 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you’re thinking of leaving agency work, this is for you: choose your clients, set the hours you want and work in the parts of Dorset you prefer. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and often see more control over the work-life balance they want. The platform finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

Typical roles are daytime visits and short supports, ideal for carers who like variety and who value building steady relationships with families in Wimborne Minster. You might do morning personal care and medication prompts, help with preparing meals, support light household tasks, or run errands to keep clients comfortable and safe at home.

Requirements to join are straightforward and focused on safety and experience:

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

Pay is set by you — many carers on the platform set rates within £19–£25 per hour depending on experience and the support needed. You remain self-employed, choosing the clients and hours that suit you. PrimeCarers takes care of matching you with families, contract admin and reliable invoicing so you can focus on care.

Wimborne Minster is well placed for carers covering nearby communities such as Ferndown, Verwood, Blandford Forum, Ringwood, Wareham and Christchurch — ideal if you want short travel between calls or to build a local patch of regular clients.
