Description

Support people living with dementia in their own homes across Carshalton, helping them stay calm, safe and connected to familiar routines. This work focuses on patience, small predictable tasks, companionship and consistent daily rhythms — the kind of continuity that really helps when someone is living with dementia. You’ll work closely with families and health professionals to keep the home environment comfortable and predictable.

Right now, 220 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who value continuity of care and want more control than agency work typically offers. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the people you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover — whether that’s central Carshalton or nearby neighbourhoods such as Wallington, Beddington, Waddon, Cheam, Morden and Mitcham. You set your own rates (many carers work in the range £18.80–£20.20 per hour) and decide whether you prefer short visits, longer sessions or live‑in support.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side: we find introductions, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you are working. That means you can focus on giving steady, compassionate dementia support without the administrative load.

Requirements to join are straightforward and reflect the responsibilities of working with people who have complex needs:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally with some dementia care exposure.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

If you already work in Sutton or Carshalton and want a role that makes the most of your skills, this is a practical way to move away from rigid rotas while keeping the client relationships that matter. Many carers join PrimeCarers to build long‑term home support packages where routine and familiarity are central.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload a couple of documents and references, and our team will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start reviewing introductions and choosing the shifts that suit you.

If you’re an experienced carer who cares about continuity, dignity and the small rituals that help someone with dementia thrive at home, PrimeCarers in Carshalton can give you the flexibility to deliver that care on your terms.
