Description

Do you have experience supporting people living with dementia and want to work more independently in Wokingham? PrimeCarers connects skilled, self-employed carers with families who want consistent, patient support at home — preserving routine and familiar surroundings. Carers set their own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves gentle, person-centred support: keeping to familiar routines, offering calm companionship, supporting personal care and mealtimes, prompting medication, and helping clients stay engaged with life at home. The role suits carers who value patience, observation and continuity of care — especially those moving away from rota-driven agency work and towards regular relationships with families across Wokingham and nearby areas such as Crowthorne, Bracknell, Earley, Woodley, Sandhurst and Yateley in Berkshire.

Pay is flexible because you set your rates; typical ranges for these roles are £19–£22 per hour. You can choose hourly work or longer live-in support; typical ranges are £19–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers does not tell you what to charge — you decide based on experience and the support needed.

We make the back-office simple so you can focus on care. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: that means control over which families you work with, which hours you accept and which parts of Wokingham and Berkshire you cover.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents and references quickly — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You won’t be applying for one role here; we’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities across Wokingham and surrounding towns.

If you’re an experienced carer who wants steadier relationships, clearer routines and more control over your working life, create a PrimeCarers profile today. The platform is geared towards carers who want to deliver sensitive, routine-led dementia care in the client’s own home while keeping their independence.
