Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Downe

We’re looking for experienced, compassionate carers to support people living with dementia at home in Downe and the surrounding area. Work with clients who value patience, familiar routines and a calm, reassuring presence — helping them stay safe and comfortable in their own home.
Right now, 167 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visits involve companionship, personal care, meal support, medication reminders and maintaining a steady routine to reduce confusion and distress. You’ll spend time getting to know a person’s life story, preferred daily rhythms and small cues that help them stay calm. Much of the work is delivered in clients’ homes across Downe, and sometimes in neighbouring areas, with travel that often follows local familiar routes.

This sort of role suits carers who prefer continuity over constant shift changes: someone who values building trust, working at a steady pace and adapting tasks to each person’s needs. If you’re considering moving away from agency rotas, PrimeCarers lets you be self-employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates. Many carers on the platform work part-time or full-time around other commitments.

What’s required to join

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

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed and in control of who you accept and when you work. Pay is flexible and set by you; typical roles for dementia support in the area fall in the range £18.80–£20 per hour depending on hours and responsibilities.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you already work in or near Downe — or in nearby places like Cudham, Leaves Green, Biggin Hill, Aperfield, Pratts Bottom and Locksbottom — you can set your service area so you only see jobs that suit your travel preferences.

If you want steadier companionship work, the chance to build real relationships with people living with dementia, and the independence of self-employment with administrative support behind you, this could be a good fit.
