Description
If you’re an experienced carer who values patience, routine and helping people stay safe and comfortable at home, PrimeCarers connects you with families in Yate and across South Gloucestershire. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing, self-employed opportunities to support people living with dementia in their own homes — keeping familiar surroundings, daily routines and relationships central to care. You’ll often work one-to-one: offering companionship, prompting medication, supporting personal care, helping with meals and household tasks, and gently re-orienting when needed. The focus is on consistent, calm support rather than fast turnarounds.
Many carers find this role suits them because it rewards long-term relationships, patience and observational skills. If you prefer setting your own pace, arranging visits that suit a client’s routine, and seeing the difference steady support makes, this could be a better fit than agency shifts. You set your own rates and availability and can typically expect rates around £19–£24 per hour depending on the client and level of support required.
PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you do and the area you cover, so you can work around family or other commitments. Many carers working with families in Yate also take assignments in Chipping Sodbury, Wickwar, Bradley Stoke, Woodhouse Park, Thornbury and Patchway.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), and verifiable references. You’ll register as self-employed and set your own terms. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
How to get started:
- Create a profile — tell us about your experience with dementia care, your availability and the area around Yate you can travel to.
- Verify — provide references, right to work and an Enhanced DBS (or let PrimeCarers assist).
- Choose clients — review introductions, accept the families you prefer, and agree times that suit you.
We’re looking for carers who are patient, observant, respectful of routines, and comfortable communicating with families and other professionals. If you’re ready to work more independently while keeping the safeguards of arranged contracts, payments and insurance, PrimeCarers can connect you with people in Yate and across South Gloucestershire who need consistent dementia support.
