Dementia Carer Jobs in Kensington

If you specialise in supporting people living with dementia at home, PrimeCarers connects you with families across Kensington who value steady routines, patience and familiar surroundings. You’ll support clients to stay safe and comfortable in their own homes, keeping to known patterns and relationships wherever possible. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Work typically involves companionship, prompting and encouraging routines, help with personal care and medication prompts as agreed with the family, meal preparation and supporting meaningful activities. The emphasis is on stability: keeping days predictable, using familiar objects, gentle prompts and quiet reassurance. You will often work alongside family members to maintain a consistent approach that reduces confusion and distress.

This is ongoing self-employed work where you choose who you support, the hours you offer and the area you serve. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and manage their diaries; typical rates sit around £15–£25 per hour. Many carers who currently work for agencies switch because they want more continuity of care and to build trusting relationships with fewer, regular clients in Kensington and surrounding neighbourhoods like Holland Park, Earls Court, South Kensington, West Kensington, Bayswater and West Brompton.

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and provides insurance while you’re working with a client. That means you can focus on delivering sensitive, attentive care rather than paperwork.

Who this suits: experienced carers who know dementia care techniques—patience, clear routine, observational skills and the ability to adapt communication to each person. It’s ideal if you prefer working in people’s homes and value becoming a steady, familiar presence rather than doing one-off shifts. Many carers who join us are seeking more predictable relationships and the professional freedom of self-employment within Kensington and Chelsea.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. If you already have these, applying takes only minutes; profiles typically go live within days after verification.
