Dementia Carer Jobs in Selsdon

If you have experience supporting people with dementia and want to work more independently in Selsdon, this page is for you. PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers directly with families who want compassionate, routine‑based care at home. Right now, 106 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work involves supporting people living with dementia to remain safe and centred in familiar surroundings. That can mean helping with morning and evening routines, companionship over long afternoons, supporting mealtimes, prompting medication and engaging with activities that follow the person's established preferences and history. Much of the care is about patience, continuity and spotting small changes early.

These opportunities suit experienced carers who prefer continuity over shift‑by‑shift agency work — those who value building relationships and using steady routines to help people stay calm and confident at home in Selsdon and the surrounding area, including Sanderstead, Forestdale, Riddlesdown, Addington, South Croydon and New Addington. You choose your clients, your hours and the area you cover; many carers set rates within £18.80–£20.20 per hour depending on experience and the support required.

PrimeCarers supports the working side so you can focus on care. We find families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you are working. As a self‑employed carer you manage your own diary and accept only the jobs that suit you. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’re looking for people with real-life dementia care skills: calm communication, an ability to work with routines, and respect for families’ wishes. If you’re currently working for an agency in Croydon or nearby and are considering a different way of working, PrimeCarers can help you make that move without losing the practical support you rely on.

Benefits of this way of working include greater control over your hours, closer relationships with clients, and the confidence of covered insurance and managed payments. Opportunities are ongoing — we’re advertising a pool of roles across Selsdon rather than one specific job. If you want to work consistently with people living with dementia in Selsdon, South Croydon or nearby communities, this is set up to support that approach.
