Description
If you’re an experienced carer who prefers the calm of home-based dementia support, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families in Faversham who need consistent, patient help. You’ll be supporting people to stay at home with familiar routines, gentle prompting, companionship and personal care delivered with dignity. You choose the hours, the clients and the area you work in.
Right now, 18 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically includes: supporting daily routines, prompting or administering medication as agreed, personal care, mealtime companionship, activity encouragement and calmly managing distress or confusion using familiar cues. The role suits carers who value patience, predictability and building relationships over time—people who prefer the continuity that home care offers rather than short agency shifts.
PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers. That means you set your own rates and choose when and where you work. Typical earnings are £19–£20 per hour; for more detail the usual hourly care range is £19–£20 per hour and live-in day rates are £145–£160 per day. Families look for reliable carers who can work consistent hours and help maintain a familiar home environment.
Many clients are in and around Faversham and Whitstable, Sittingbourne, Canterbury, Queenborough, Sheerness and Fordwich. We also cover the wider Kent area when you want it — ideal if you’re happy to travel a little for the right match.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this as part of verification. Once your details and references are checked, profiles typically go live within days and applying takes minutes.
PrimeCarers finds you clients and manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and we provide insurance while you work on bookings arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed at all times, so you manage your tax and working patterns, while we remove much of the admin that can slow you down.
If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and build steady, meaningful dementia care in and around Faversham, start your profile now. The application takes a few minutes and could place you with families who value a calm, routine-focused approach to dementia support.
