Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Penge

If you’re an experienced carer in Penge who prefers one-to-one work supporting people living with dementia at home, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families. You’ll work in familiar surroundings, helping maintain routines, offering calm companionship and practical support that keeps people safe and settled in their own homes in Penge and the wider Bromley area. Right now, 214 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical dementia support shifts are about steady, patient care: gentle prompting, helping with morning and evening routines, supporting mealtimes, encouraging meaningful activity and following an agreed care plan that preserves dignity and independence. You’ll often be the consistent presence who knows what comforts a client, values routine and can adapt approaches with compassion. Many carers move from agency life for the closer relationships and calmer pace of home-based dementia work in Penge.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers who want control. You set your own rates, choose clients, hours and the area you work in, and you keep the autonomy of running your own work. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Typical roles fall in the range £18.80–£20 per hour, and you decide which offers fit your skills and schedule.

To join we need a clear record that keeps people safe and reassures families. Requirements are:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience;
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one);
• The right to work in the UK;
• Verifiable references from recent employers or supervisors.

Applying only takes minutes and creating a profile is straightforward. Once your documents are verified your profile typically goes live within days, and you can begin to review clients in Penge and nearby areas like Anerley, Sydenham, Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace, Elmers End and South Norwood. The platform supports your self-employed status—PrimeCarers manages contracts, client matching, payments and offers insurance cover while you’re on a booked visit.
