Dementia Carer Jobs in Rye

Work supporting people living with dementia to stay safely at home in familiar surroundings. On PrimeCarers you’ll help maintain routine, offer patient companionship, support with daily tasks and personal care, prompt medication and notice subtle changes so families can plan. Many carers find this role rewarding because it focuses on relationship, consistency and preserving dignity for people who know and love Rye and the surrounding area in East Sussex.

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

This platform connects self‑employed carers directly with local families across Rye and nearby towns such as Winchelsea, Lydd, Ore Valley, Tenterden, New Romney and Hastings. You choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rate. Typical pay for this kind of role is £19–£21.80 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance for the time you work through the platform.

What the work looks like: supporting a person with dementia at home often means working to a familiar routine, encouraging independence where possible, assisting with personal care and meals, supporting mobility and engaging with meaningful activities. You’ll often work closely with family members and other professionals to keep the person comfortable and safe in the place they know best. This is ongoing, relationship‑based care rather than a one‑off visit.

Who this suits: experienced carers who value continuity, patience and a calm presence. If you’re thinking of moving away from local agency rotas, this role lets you keep delivering the compassionate dementia care you’re trained for while taking control of when and where you work in Rye and across East Sussex.

• Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.
• PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working through the platform.
• Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Please note these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single role. If you want rewarding, relationship‑based dementia care work in Rye, create your profile and start choosing the families and hours that fit your life.
