Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Sittingbourne

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Sittingbourne who want dementia support at home. These roles focus on gentle, routine-led care that keeps people comfortable in familiar surroundings — supporting day-to-day needs, maintaining routines, prompting and companionship, and working with relatives and other professionals to keep continuity of care. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits carers who value patience, predictability and relationship-based support. Many families in Sittingbourne, and nearby areas like Queenborough, Rainham, Faversham, Sheerness, Gillingham and Chatham, prefer someone who can arrive at the same times, follow known routines and offer calm, respectful reassurance rather than frequent agency changes. You’ll be supporting people living with dementia to stay safe and as independent as possible at home in Kent, often through small, consistent tasks and meaningful conversation.

You work as a self-employed carer: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical pay for these roles is £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care and hours. You can also offer hourly care at £18.80–£20 per hour or live-in support at £145–£160 per day if you prefer those patterns. PrimeCarers introduces you to families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work.

We’re looking for people with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already work through an agency and want more control over who you support and when, this model lets you keep the hands-on care you love while cutting out agency rota uncertainty.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload your checks and references, and PrimeCarers will verify details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you can start choosing clients around Sittingbourne quickly. If you value continuity of care, predictable shifts and working directly with families while PrimeCarers manages the admin, this could be the next step in your career.
