Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Sevenoaks

Work with families in Sevenoaks to support people living with dementia to stay at home, in familiar surroundings, with routines that bring calm and continuity. This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities for carers who want to focus on patient, personalised dementia support rather than rotating shifts and agency administration. Right now, 69 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role looks like: you’ll spend time building trust, keeping familiar routines, encouraging independence where safe, helping with personal care and medication prompts, supporting mealtimes and mobility, and offering companionship and memory‑friendly activities. Much of the work is about consistency, gentle reassurance and adapting to changing needs — suited to carers who value patience, observation and creative problem‑solving.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who want to work on their own terms in Sevenoaks and the surrounding areas. If you’re used to providing dementia care and want to choose the households you work with, set your own hours and keep continuity for clients, this option gives you that freedom while staying focused on high‑quality support in Kent.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates; typical rates for this role are £18.80–£20 per hour. For reference, hourly care ranges are shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and live‑in day rates as £145–£160 per day. You choose your clients, hours and service area — whether you prefer short shifts or longer calls, day visits or live‑in arrangements where appropriate and agreed with families.

How PrimeCarers helps: we find families looking for dementia support, handle contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and include insurance while you’re working through the platform. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork, while keeping the independence of being self‑employed.

Joining requirements: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify checks quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Geography and clients: we connect carers across Sevenoaks and nearby towns including Sundridge, Westerham, Pratts Bottom, Cudham, Chelsfield and Tonbridge. Whether you want to work close to home or cover a wider area in Kent, you decide your service area.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes and you’ll be able to start choosing clients as soon as your checks and references are verified. This is not one specific post but an ongoing way to find local families who need skilled, compassionate dementia support at home.
