Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Wimborne Minster who want to keep loved ones living with dementia at home, surrounded by familiar routines and people they know. The roles are focused on patient, routine-led support—helping with personal care, medication prompts, mealtime routines, meaningful activity and steady companionship in a person’s own home.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work involves depends on each household. Typical tasks include supporting daily routines, helping with dressing and bathing when needed, encouraging hydration and nutrition, accompanying short outings, using memory-friendly communication and activity techniques, and liaising with family about changes in mood or behaviour. This work suits carers who value continuity, calm approaches and building trust over time. Many carers choose to specialise in dementia care because they prefer predictable routines and the chance to make a real difference to someone’s quality of life.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers who want more control than agency work often allows. You set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can accept only the work that fits your strengths and availability. Typical pay sits at £19–£25 per hour for this kind of role, with £19–£25 per hour for hourly calls and £145–£163.50 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on care.

To join you’ll need 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. If you’re already working in or near Wimborne Minster — or in nearby towns such as Ferndown, Verwood, Blandford Forum, Ringwood, Wareham and Christchurch — moving to self-employed work through PrimeCarers is straightforward. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
