Dementia Carer Jobs in Selhurst

If you specialise in dementia care and prefer working with people in their own homes, PrimeCarers can connect you with families in Selhurst looking for steady, respectful support. You’ll be helping clients remain in familiar surroundings, using patience, routine and gentle companionship to reduce anxiety and keep day-to-day life as normal as possible. Right now, 211 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Dementia care in the community is more than personal care. Typical duties include supporting a daily routine and mealtimes, prompting medication and appointments, offering calm companionship, encouraging simple activities and supporting safe mobility. You’ll use techniques that respect memory loss, sensory changes and fluctuating needs — building trust through repetition, quiet reassurance and predictable patterns.

PrimeCarers is built for carers who want control and clarity. You are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£20 per hour. Many carers who move away from agency work find the extra control over shifts and clients helps them provide more consistent dementia support while improving work–life balance.

We find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and insurance is included while you work with a PrimeCarers client. That means less admin for you and more time for quality care. Families in Croydon and Selhurst often prefer continuity and someone who understands how routines and familiar items make a real difference for people living with dementia.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed at all times and can update your availability or service area whenever you need.

Work across Selhurst and nearby neighbourhoods such as South Norwood, Thornton Heath, Anerley, Addiscombe, Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace — many carers base themselves locally to build steady, familiar relationships with clients. If you’re experienced, patient and committed to keeping people at home for as long as possible, this could be the right way to shape your care work.
