Description
Work supporting people with dementia at home in Lower Morden. You’ll help maintain routines, familiar surroundings and calm for clients who benefit from patience, predictable tasks and continuity of face-to-face care. This is ongoing, self-employed work: you pick the people you support, the hours you do and the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.
Right now, 219 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical visits include companionship, prompting and supporting daily routines, medication prompts, low-level mobility assistance, meal support and working alongside families to maintain triggers and activities that reduce anxiety. Many clients want carers who can stick to a familiar rhythm — arriving at set times, keeping the same small tasks and gently guiding rather than rushing. If you enjoy building trust and prefer the predictability of home-based dementia care, this role suits you.
Pay and flexibility: you are self-employed and set your own rates. Typical rates for this kind of work are £18.80–£20.39 per hour. You can offer the hourly care rate you choose (£18.80–£20.39 per hour) or accept live-in day rates (£145–£160 per day) when clients need them. You choose which requests to accept and which hours to offer. Many carers move from agency rotas to PrimeCarers because they want control over their diary and clearer one-to-one relationships with families.
Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We welcome experienced carers from across Merton and the surrounding areas who are comfortable supporting people with memory loss, confusion or withdrawal and who work calmly under pressure.
Areas we serve include Lower Morden and nearby towns such as Morden Park, Worcester Park, Morden, Raynes Park, Old Malden and Motspur Park, so you can choose work close to home. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers will introduce you to families, manage the paperwork and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working — so you can focus on care and building lasting relationships with clients.
