Description
Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes around Snodland. This role is about patience, preserving routine and keeping life familiar for each person — companionship, gentle prompts, reassurance and practical support delivered in the places that matter most to them. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families looking for this style of home support.
Right now, 32 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
What the work involves: helping clients stay comfortable and oriented at home, following familiar routines, offering sensory prompts and memory cues, supporting mealtimes and personal care where needed, and working closely with families to maintain the person’s usual day-to-day life. Much of the work is companionship and practical assistance rather than clinical tasks, and it needs someone calm, observant and consistent.
This is right for you if you have experience with dementia care and value continuity over shift-churn. Many carers on the platform have left agency work because they wanted to choose who they support, when they work and how they organise visits in Snodland and nearby areas.
Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates — typical clients in the area pay around £18.80–£20 per hour. You choose your clients, hours and service area, whether that’s a few daytime calls or longer live-in days. 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.
- Minimum experience: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
- Checks and right to work: an Enhanced DBS is required (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), plus the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Frequently asked questions
You need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange DBS checks if you need support.

Yes. PrimeCarers introduces families to you, handles contracts, invoices them and passes payments to you. That means less admin so you can concentrate on consistent, person-centred care.
An Enhanced DBS is required for most homes-based dementia support. If you don’t already have one, PrimeCarers can help you apply and guide you through the process.
