Description
Support people living with dementia at home in Kenton, helping them keep routines, familiar faces and the comforts of their own living room.

Right now, 216 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is a listing for ongoing self-employed opportunities across Kenton and the surrounding area, including Woodcock Hill, Kingsbury, Wealdstone, Harrow on the Hill, Burnt Oak and Wembley Park and parts of Harrow. You choose the clients you work with, the hours you accept and how far you’ll travel. Many carers set their own rates and manage a mix of hourly and live-in work; typical pay falls within £18.80–£20.30 per hour, with common ranges shown as £18.80–£20.30 per hour and £145–£160 per day for reference.
What the role involves: you’ll prioritise safety, calm communication and preserving dignity. Typical tasks include supporting morning and evening routines, helping with personal care and continence when needed, prompting medication, preparing simple meals, encouraging meaningful activity and recording observations so families and healthcare professionals stay informed. Familiarity with dementia-friendly techniques, patience with repetition and a focus on maintaining routines are the most valuable skills here.
Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer working more directly with families and want control over their working life. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency models, PrimeCarers helps you remain self-employed while removing much of the admin — so you can spend time doing the care you enjoy. Many of our carers are based in Kenton, Wealdstone, Harrow on the Hill or Wembley Park and travel locally to build regular, trusted relationships.
What PrimeCarers provides: we find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, and we can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Please note these are self-employed opportunities, not a single position. To apply, create your profile and tell us about your dementia care experience — you can be matched with families in Kenton and nearby areas within days. If you have questions about working in Harrow or want to understand how the platform supports dementia-focused care, get in touch and we’ll walk you through the next steps.
