Description
If you have patience, steady hands and experience supporting people living with dementia, you can make a real difference to older people who want to stay at home in Old Malden. The role is about preserving routine, familiar surroundings and small daily comforts: companionship, prompts for personal care, supporting mealtimes, managing simple activities and working with families to keep days calm and predictable.
Right now, 214 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing, home-based care rather than a single shift. Many carers who join PrimeCarers tell us they value continuity — getting to know one household, their routines and the best ways to reassure someone with memory loss. If you’re used to agency rota churn and want more control, self-employed work through PrimeCarers lets you pick the clients and hours that suit you in Old Malden and the wider Kingston upon Thames area.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own standards and your own rates; the platform connects you with families and supports the back-office so you can focus on care. Typical £18.80–£20.60 per hour gives you the flexibility to balance travel, time with clients and the level of responsibility you take on.
PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you get the independence of running your own service without having to manage every admin detail. You choose who you work for, which hours suit you and the service area you cover. Many carers on the platform live or work across Old Malden and nearby areas such as Worcester Park, New Malden, Lower Morden, Tolworth, Morden Park and Motspur Park.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this as part of verification. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days once your documents are verified.
