Description

Work with people living with dementia in Ruislip and help them remain safe and comfortable in their own homes. These ongoing self‑employed opportunities focus on patient, reliable care that honours routine and familiar surroundings — supporting daily tasks, offering companionship and using gentle, consistent approaches to reduce confusion and distress. Right now, 125 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties include supporting personal care, prompting medication, preparing meals, keeping to consistent routines, encouraging small activities and meaningful conversation, working with families to maintain familiar rhythms, and spotting changes that need escalation. Much of the role is about presence and predictability: arriving on time, keeping the same small routines, and using reassurance rather than rushing. You will not be asked here to undertake tasks outside your agreed service or professional competency.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity over shift churn — people who value longer relationships, slow‑paced support and practical creativity to make days feel safe and familiar. You’ll often be working in clients’ homes across Ruislip and nearby areas such as Ickenham, Eastcote, South Ruislip, Rayners Lane, Pinner and Northwood. PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities across the borough of Hillingdon and beyond.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical rates fall in the range £19–£21.70 per hour, with more specific hourly and live‑in guidance shown as £19–£21.70 per hour and £148–£164 per day respectively. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We check references and identity quickly so you can start choosing the clients and hours that suit you. If you already work in Ruislip or neighbouring pockets of Hillingdon and are thinking of moving away from agency routines, this is a practical way to take control of your diary while still having operational support.
