Dementia Carer Jobs in Basildon

Support people living with dementia to stay safe, calm and at home in Basildon. These self-employed roles focus on building routine, offering patient companionship, helping with personal care and daily tasks, and preserving familiar surroundings so clients can stay independent for longer. You’ll work in people’s own homes across Basildon and the surrounding area, bringing steady presence and reassuring continuity to families.

Right now, 34 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day duties vary with each client but commonly include companionship and conversation, supporting personal care and continence, prompting medication and meals, encouraging gentle activity, following familiar routines, and liaising with family members or health professionals where appropriate. If you prefer predictable hours and carving deep, meaningful relationships rather than short, changing shifts, dementia home care in Basildon is very rewarding.

As a PrimeCarers carer you’re self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and control the way you work around other commitments. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

This type of work suits experienced carers who bring patience, observational skill and respect for routine. Living in Basildon or nearby makes it easier to build reliable visitation patterns; many carers cover local streets and towns such as Pitsea, South Benfleet, Wickford, Laindon, Langdon Hills and Corringham across Essex and nearby communities.

To join we require:

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

Application takes minutes and you can have a profile live within days of verification. Once approved you’ll start seeing suitable client matches and can accept only the work that fits your life. If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and keep delivering compassionate, routine-led dementia care in Basildon, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a quick, practical next step.
