Description
Support people living with dementia in their own homes across Pimlico. These ongoing self‑employed opportunities focus on keeping people comfortable in familiar surroundings, keeping routines, and offering calm, consistent companionship. If you’re an experienced carer who values patience, continuity and working closely with families in Pimlico and nearby streets, this could suit you.
Right now, 220 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The work is practical and person‑centred: helping with daily routines, prompting medication, supporting mealtimes, assisting with personal care and mobility when needed, and using reassurance, distraction or reminiscence to reduce distress. You’ll build trusting relationships, learn life stories and create predictable patterns that really help someone with dementia feel steady at home. Much of the support is unpaid companionship and monitoring, creating a safe, familiar environment rather than clinical treatment. Many families in Westminster and Pimlico appreciate carers who can keep appointments reliable and maintain small, comforting rituals.
These roles suit carers who already have hands‑on dementia experience and a calm, patient approach. To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Insurance is included while you work through PrimeCarers, and we handle essential paperwork so you can focus on care.
Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, decide your hours and define your service area.
