Description

Work as a self-employed dementia carer supporting people to stay safe, calm and at home in Richmond and nearby communities. You’ll help maintain routine, familiarity and dignity for clients living with dementia — offering patient companionship, personal care, prompting medications and preserving everyday rhythms in familiar surroundings. Right now, 217 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing, self-employed opportunities across Richmond and the borough — call areas include St Margarets, Kew, Petersham and nearby towns such as St Margarets, Isleworth, Petersham, Kew, North Sheen and Eel Pie Island. You set your own approach and your fees within £18.80–£20.30 per hour, choose which clients to accept and which hours to work. PrimeCarers connects you with families so you can focus on care.

Typical dementia support includes creating and following familiar daily routines, using clear, calm communication, providing reassurance during difficult moments, helping with personal care and mobility where needed, and supporting meaningful activities that reflect the person’s history and preferences. You’ll work in clients’ homes to keep them in the environment they know best.

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means less admin and more time delivering consistent dementia-focused care across Richmond upon Thames and surrounding areas. These roles suit experienced carers who value autonomy and deeper relationships with the people they support.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes online and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Please note these listings are not a single job post but an ongoing supply of self-employed opportunities throughout the Richmond area.
