Description

Work one-to-one with people living with dementia in their own homes across Kingsbury and nearby areas. This role is about patience, gentle routines and helping people keep familiar surroundings where they feel safest. You’ll support daily routines, provide companionship, help with personal care and work with families to maintain structure and calm at home.

Right now, 154 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own approach and your own rates. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you take and the service area you cover. Typical rates for this kind of work are £19–£21.30 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

What the role suits: experienced carers who know how to manage memory loss with dignity, who value routines and can bring calm, predictable support to a person’s day. Many carers moving away from agency shifts appreciate being able to focus on meaningful support rather than chasing rotas. You’ll often work with families in Kingsbury, Brent and the surrounding communities to build familiarity and trust.

Requirements to join are straightforward:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally with dementia support.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes. You create a profile, upload references and DBS (or request help), and complete a short verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start reviewing client requests and arranging to meet families.

What you’ll gain: autonomy over your working life, the chance to build long-term relationships, and the ability to choose shifts that suit you. Work close to home in Kingsbury or out to Kenton, The Hyde, Woodcock Hill, Colindale, Burnt Oak and Grahame Park depending on the area you select. PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care.

This is a good fit if you want to specialise in dementia care, enjoy delivering consistent routines and prefer supporting people in the familiarity of their own homes. If that sounds like you, set up your profile and start connecting with families in Kingsbury and beyond.
