Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Kingston upon Thames

Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes across Kingston upon Thames. This role focuses on companionship, gentle prompting, keeping to familiar routines and helping people stay comfortable in surroundings they know. You’ll be helping with day-to-day tasks, encouraging independence where possible and offering calm, patient presence for people whose needs can change from hour to hour.

Right now, 211 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work, not a single placement. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area, so you can build a work pattern that suits your life. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20.80 per hour but you control what you charge. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

What the role commonly involves:

• Supporting familiar routines, mealtimes and personal care with patience and dignity.
• Using distraction, reminiscence and validation to reduce distress and maintain calm.
• Helping with household tasks to keep the home safe and comfortable.
• Keeping clear notes and communicating changes in mood, appetite or behaviour.

This type of work suits experienced carers who value relationship-led support and steady, predictable visits. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over which clients you accept and when you work, PrimeCarers can help you move to self-employed practice without having to find your own clients first.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents and references, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes.

We connect carers across Kingston upon Thames and nearby areas such as Norbiton, Hampton Wick, Surbiton, Berrylands, Teddington and Ham. Many of our carers work across Greater London and choose short daytime shifts, regular evening support or longer live-in bookings depending on what suits them.

How to apply: create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit. PrimeCarers will guide you through DBS support, contracting and how to set your rates. You remain self‑employed, choose the assignments you want and keep control of your working pattern.
