Description

Dementia support carers on PrimeCarers help people stay at home, keeping familiar routines and surroundings while offering patient, person-centred support. If you already work in social care and want to focus on meaningful one-to-one support in Hanwell and nearby streets, this could be the flexible change you’re after. Right now, 212 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer you choose who you work for, the hours you take and the area you cover. Many carers on our platform specialise in dementia care — supporting daily routines, managing personal care sensitively, helping with mealtimes and companionship, and using simple approaches to reduce confusion and anxiety. You’ll work with families who want reliable, consistent care that keeps their loved one at home and comfortable. You can expect to find work across Hanwell and the wider Ealing area, including West Ealing, Norwood Green, Southall, Osterley, Greenford and Perivale.

Pay is set by you: carers set their own rates and many charge within £18.80–£20.39 per hour depending on experience and the support required. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you are working through the platform. You remain self-employed and free to accept only the shifts and clients that suit you.

This type of role suits experienced carers who prefer small-team or single-client work rather than agency rota shifts. You’ll succeed if you are calm under pressure, patient, consistent with routine and good at building trust with someone living with dementia. Practical skills such as safe moving and handling, medication prompts and basic record-keeping are useful; strong communication with family members is essential.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. We do not list one-off jobs on this page — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Hanwell and surrounding neighbourhoods.

  • Choose your clients: pick people whose needs match your skills and availability.
  • Flexible hours: short calls, longer companionship shifts or regular overnight/live-in support where appropriate.
  • Support for carers: we handle the admin, so you can focus on quality care.
