Description

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Wembley and the surrounding Brent area, helping them keep routines, familiar surroundings and a calm, patient presence. You’ll support day-to-day life — companionship, prompts for meals and medication, gentle personal care and confidence-building activities that fit each person’s history and rhythm. Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing self-employed roles suit experienced carers who want to prioritise continuity of care. You’ll be helping clients to stay at home where they know the layout, the sounds and the people they trust. That means patience, observational skill and the ability to work with small, consistent routines that reduce confusion and anxiety. Many families in Wembley and nearby towns value carers who can offer predictable visits and a reassuring pace. Alperton, Tokyngton, Wembley Park, Perivale, Brompton and Harrow on the Hill

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and the area you cover, and you can expect the typical rate range of £18.80–£20.20 per hour depending on the care and complexity required. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working, so you can focus on delivering stable, person-centred care.

This is not a single job listing but an ongoing opportunity to connect directly with families across Wembley. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency shifts, many carers find the continuity and closer relationships with families more rewarding — and it often leads to more predictable hours and better planning for people with dementia.

Minimum requirements to join are practical and clear:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once you’re approved you can browse and choose clients in Wembley and the wider Brent area, accept bookings that fit your calendar, and begin building ongoing support relationships.

If you’re a patient, experienced carer who believes people with dementia do best at home, register with PrimeCarers and start connecting with families in Wembley today.
