Dementia Carer Jobs in Croydon

Work with people living with dementia in Croydon, helping them stay at home where routine and familiar surroundings matter most. These ongoing, self‑employed opportunities suit carers who bring patience, kindness and experience to companionship, personal care and day‑to‑day support.
Right now, 219 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The role is about steady, person‑centred care: keeping routines, offering reassurance, supporting mealtimes, prompting medication and appointments, and helping families maintain a safe, comfortable home life. You’ll support people across Croydon and nearby neighbourhoods while working with families to respect preferences and familiar rhythms. In Greater London we see a variety of home situations, from short calls to longer companionship visits.

This work suits experienced carers who know dementia care is as much about presence as it is about tasks. Many carers leaving agency work appreciate being able to choose which clients to accept, and to plan shifts around family or other commitments. Typical rates are £18.80–£20 per hour, and as a self‑employed carer you set your own rate, hours and service area.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the practical side so you can focus on care. We prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You choose the clients you want to support and the hours you’ll accept — whether that’s short calls, regular daytime visits or longer companionship. We cover Croydon borough and surrounding towns including Waddon, Addiscombe, South Croydon, Beddington, Thornton Heath and Selhurst.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. These listings are ongoing opportunities across Croydon and Greater London, not a single role. If you’re a patient, reliable carer who values familiarity and routine for people with dementia, creating a profile is the next step.
