Dementia Carer Jobs in West Malling

We connect experienced, self-employed carers with families in West Malling who want to keep their loved ones living with dementia at home with dignity, routine and familiar faces. The work is about patience, small predictable routines and meaningful companionship — from medication prompts and personal care to supporting activities that spark memory and comfort. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Roles vary because each family is different. Typical duties include gentle personal care, assistance with daily routines, supporting mealtimes, mobility support and providing calm companionship that encourages orientation and continuity. Work will often suit carers who prefer one-to-one relationships and the chance to build trust over weeks and months.

This is an ongoing, self-employed arrangement: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Many carers in the area work within £18.60–£20.10 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in days, and typical roles on the platform fall around £18.60–£20.10 per hour depending on the family's needs and your experience.

You’ll get straightforward support from PrimeCarers: we find families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. That means you can focus on care and on building lasting relationships in West Malling and nearby communities such as Snodland, Maidstone, Strood, Rochester, Chatham and Paddock Wood.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year’s professional care experience who value continuity, who are comfortable creating calming routines, and who communicate well with families and health professionals. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed).

Applying is quick and practical. Profiles take minutes to complete and typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review enquiries and choose clients that fit your skills and availability. If you prefer to work across Kent or closer to West Malling, you set the service area and hours that suit you.

If you’re thinking of leaving agency work for a role with more autonomy and deeper relationships, PrimeCarers makes the transition manageable: you focus on excellent, person-centred dementia care while we take care of the paperwork.
