Description

As a self-employed dementia support carer on PrimeCarers you’ll work with people who prefer to stay at home in familiar surroundings. In St Jamess you’ll help with gentle routines, companionship, practical day-to-day support and reassurance — small, consistent actions that make a big difference to someone living with dementia. You choose the households you visit, the hours you take and the area you serve.

Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Your work will suit someone who values patience, calm routines and continuity. Typical visits include supporting personal care, prompting medication, preparing simple meals, keeping to a predictable day and helping families build and keep reassuring rituals. This is ongoing, home-based support rather than one-off shifts. You’ll often find opportunities across St Jamess and nearby Chinatown, London, Greenhill, Soho, Charing Cross and Mayfair and around Westminster too.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients and handling the contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work for a family through the platform, and you set your own hourly rate — typical roles pay around £18.80–£20 per hour. You also choose which clients to accept, your working hours and your service area, so you keep control of your diary.

Requirements to join are straightforward and respected standards: 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 check these quickly so you can begin offering care. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed dementia care opportunities in St Jamess rather than a single role. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over who you work with and when, PrimeCarers can help you move to a model that suits both you and the families you support.

To apply, create a short profile, upload your references and DBS, and choose how you’d like to work. You’ll keep the freedom of self-employment while PrimeCarers handles client introductions and the paperwork so you can focus on providing steady, compassionate care.
