Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Lydd

Support people living with dementia to stay at home in familiar surroundings across Lydd and the surrounding area. This work focuses on patience, gentle routines and building trust: morning prompts, companionship, helping with personalised daily routines, supporting mealtimes and remaining calm during changes in mood or memory. You’ll be working with people who benefit from consistent faces and predictable days, often in their own homes in Lydd, New Romney or nearby towns.

Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. On PrimeCarers you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for dementia support roles sit around £19–£21.80 per hour depending on experience, travel and the exact duties. Many carers list hourly and live‑in preferences; typical ranges are £19–£21.80 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160.50 per day for live‑in days.

Who this suits: experienced, patient carers who prefer to work in people’s homes in Lydd and Kent, preserving routines and familiar surroundings. If you find reward in small, steady improvements—reducing anxiety with a familiar routine, keeping someone comfortable with familiar music or photos—this role will fit. It’s also well suited to those ready to move away from agency rotas and want more control over who they support and when.

PrimeCarers handles finding clients and all the paperwork: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you work. You remain self‑employed and free to set your hours, service area and rates, and to accept or decline any client match. Many carers choose to work across Lydd, Rye, Winchelsea, Hythe, Tenterden and Ashford to build a workable weekly routine; you can do the same by selecting the area that fits your travel and life.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days once verified.

To apply, create a profile, add your experience and preferences, upload references (or note them), and choose the areas you want to work in—starting in Lydd is simple and quick. If you want a caring, flexible way to support people living with dementia while keeping control of your work, this is worth a look. You can also mention if you’re willing to travel to New Romney, Rye, Winchelsea, Hythe, Tenterden and Ashford when you set up your profile.
