Work is about preserving dignity, familiar surroundings and small routines that help someone with dementia stay calm and engaged. Typical tasks include supporting personal care, prompting daily routines, preparing straightforward meals, accompanying short walks and being a reassuring, consistent presence. Many families in Medway want carers who can offer continuity rather than frequent agency changes.

This is ongoing self-employed work rather than a single post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical earnings fall in £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care required and the hours you accept. You can offer short visits, longer calls or live-in support where needed.

Who this suits: experienced carers who value continuity and patient, relationship-led care. If you prefer building trusting routines, working one-to-one and taking responsibility for how care is delivered, this is a good fit. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they appreciate the calmer, more personalised approach families want in Rainham.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed and in control of your diary.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once verified you can review client requests in Rainham and across Medway, accept those that suit you, and manage your bookings through the platform. If you want to discuss dementia-specific approaches, families often welcome carers who can explain how routine, reassurance and small cues reduce distress.
