Description
If you specialise in supporting people living with dementia and want to work more independently in Harlington, this is for you. The role focuses on home-based care that preserves routine, familiar surroundings and dignity — practical help with personal care, meal routines, medication prompts, companionship, gentle redirection and emotional reassurance. Many families prefer consistent, patient carers who can maintain small, predictable routines that reduce anxiety and confusion. Right now, 196 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families around Harlington and the wider Hillingdon area. You choose clients, hours and your service area; you set your own rates and accept the work that fits you. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£21 per hour depending on your experience and the care required. You can offer hourly or live-in support using your own terms: £18.80–£21 per hour; £145–£160 per day.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who value continuity and time to build trust: people who understand dementia behaviours, can work calmly with confusion, can keep to simple routines and know when to involve health professionals or family. Harlington families often need help with evening routines, medication reminders, prompt-led activities, mobility support and safe mealtimes. Many roles involve companionship and observation as much as hands-on personal care.
To join you must have 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 if needed. While you work on assignments we handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included for the time you’re working with a client.
Switching from agency life? PrimeCarers is built for carers who want control without extra admin: you keep the flexibility of self-employed hours but we take care of client-finding, contracts and payments. We cover paperwork and insurance while you focus on care.
We work with families across Harlington and nearby towns including Longford, Sipson, Cranford, West Drayton, Harmondsworth and Hayes.
