Description

Work supporting people living with dementia at home in Whitstable, helping them keep routine, familiar surroundings and dignity. You’ll focus on calm, patient care — companionship, prompting daily tasks, medication reminders and reassuring presence — all delivered with respect for the person’s history and routines. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you care for people with memory loss and want to move away from agency shifts, this is for you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and the area you cover in and around Whitstable. Typical rates are £19–£20 per hour. For reference, the hourly-care range is £19–£20 per hour and live-in day care ranges are £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments. Insurance is included for the time you work through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Many carers in Whitstable and nearby towns like Herne Bay, Canterbury, Fordwich, Faversham, Sheerness and Queenborough use PrimeCarers to keep continuity for their clients while staying independent.

This work suits carers who:

  • Have patience, empathy and a steady, routine-led approach;
  • Prefer one-to-one home support where relationships and small details matter;
  • Want control over when, where and with whom they work in Whitstable and across Kent.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single post here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across the Whitstable area.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload ID and references, and we’ll verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which we’ll introduce suitable clients and manage contracts and payments for you.
