These ongoing opportunities are for experienced, self-employed carers who want to move away from agency patterns and take more control. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay flexibility is shown as £18.89–£21.50 per hour depending on the support required and the hours you agree. You can take short visits, longer companionship shifts or live-in arrangements; typical ranges are £18.89–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £146.50–£163.50 per day for live-in day rates.

Day-to-day dementia care in North Kensington often includes: gentle prompting with personal care, encouraging familiar routines, preparing simple meals, supporting mobility and safe transfers, medication prompting, meaningful conversation and activity, and liaising sensitively with family members. You’ll be supporting dignity and continuity rather than doing everything for someone — the best moments come from small, steady routines.

This kind of role suits a carer who already has experience of dementia care, a calm manner, patience, good observation and an ability to adapt routines to a person’s life story. You’ll work across North Kensington and nearby areas such as Notting Hill, Queens Park, Kensal Green, White City, Kilburn and Maida Vale and may take clients in parts of Brent as well.

PrimeCarers finds matching families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work with a client. You remain self-employed: you set your rates, decide which clients to accept and which hours to offer. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

• Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• What we won’t do: offer one-off adverts for single shifts — this page advertises ongoing, self-employed opportunities across North Kensington.

If you’re ready to work more independently while keeping the rewarding hands-on side of dementia care, join PrimeCarers and take control of your hours and clients. Setting up a profile takes minutes, and you can be meeting local families in North Kensington, Notting Hill and beyond within days of verification.
