Description
Join PrimeCarers as a dementia carer in Hayes and support people to stay at home where routine, familiar surroundings and calm, patient care matter most. You’ll be helping people living with dementia with day-to-day routines, companionship, meal prompts, mobility support and personal care where needed — all while working as a self-employed carer who chooses the clients, hours and area you cover, including parts of Hillingdon.
Right now, 186 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.Work typically involves building predictable routines, using patience and clear communication, and working with families to help someone remain settled at home. You may spend time encouraging activity, supporting hygiene and mealtimes, prompting medication, and offering companionship that eases anxiety. This role suits carers who value continuity and subtle observation over shift-churn — experienced, patient people who want to get to know their clients and help maintain the small rituals that make a house feel like home.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your own hours and clients. Typical rates for dementia care are £18.80–£21 per hour. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work with each client, so you can focus on care rather than admin.
We work across Hayes and nearby areas including West Drayton, Yiewsley, Harlington, Sipson, Yeading and Burroughs, The, and many carers cover a flexible patch across Hillingdon. You decide how far you travel and when you’re available — part-time evenings, regular daytime calls or longer live-in arrangements where appropriate.
Requirements to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience supporting adults (dementia experience preferred).
- Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one.
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references from recent care roles.
Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload your documents or request DBS support, add references and confirm your right to work. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing suitable clients and shifts that fit your life.
