Description
Do you have experience supporting people living with dementia and prefer working in the calm of someone’s home? In Witney we connect self-employed carers with local families who want patient, consistent care that preserves routine and familiar surroundings. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing, self-employed route into dementia care rather than a single post. You set your own rates and choose who you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.
Typical pay for roles like this sits around £19.20–£22 per hour, with the flexibility to set your own figure within that band. You’ll also see work listed across a range of formats, from hourly visits (£19.20–£22 per hour) to live-in support options (£148–£163.50 per day). We don’t promise income levels — you choose the clients and hours that suit you.
Kind of care: most clients want steady, compassionate support at home — maintaining daily routines, prompting medication, supporting personal care with dignity, accompanying outings, and using calming communication techniques. You’ll be working to create familiar patterns that reduce anxiety and confusion, while supporting families who value continuity.
Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who prefer building trusting relationships over time. If you’re thinking of leaving agency work for more control and clearer rates, this is designed for you. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
Practicalities: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers handles client-finding, contract management and invoicing so you can focus on care. You remain self-employed and in control of your diary. Many carers in and around Witney also pick up shifts in nearby towns such as Carterton, Bampton, Charlbury, Burford, Woodstock and Faringdon.
How to apply: create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and tell us about your dementia care experience. PrimeCarers will verify your details, publish your profile and start making local matches. If you want clear, compassionate home-based dementia work across Witney and other parts of Oxfordshire, this is a practical way to stay independent while getting steady client leads.
