Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Rochester

Support people living with dementia at home across Rochester and the wider Medway area. This role is about patience, keeping to routine and preserving familiar surroundings so a client can stay safe and calm in the place they know best. You’ll visit people in their own homes, support daily routines, offer companionship, help with personal care and work with families to keep consistency.

Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects you directly with families while you remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. Typical roles in the area sit within £18.80–£20 per hour. You can work across Rochester and neighbouring communities such as Chatham, Strood, Gillingham, Snodland, Rainham and Gravesend as your schedule allows.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value continuity and relationships. Dementia care here is steady, relational and rhythm-driven — small rituals and predictable timings make a big difference. If you enjoy building trust, using non-verbal reassurance, and designing simple, safe routines, you’ll find the role rewarding. Many carers joining PrimeCarers move from agency work to gain more control over who they support and when.

• Requirements to join: 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.
• Flexibility & choice: choose daytime calls, evenings or longer live-in arrangements where appropriate; you pick the hours and neighbourhoods you cover.
• Admin taken care of: you won’t need to chase invoices — PrimeCarers manages client contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. We only advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities — not single shifts or specific placements — so you stay in control of the work you accept. If you want to keep delivering dementia support with more autonomy while still having administrative backing, PrimeCarers is set up to help you make that change in Rochester and across Medway.
