Dementia Carer Jobs in South Norwood

Work with people living with dementia in South Norwood and nearby streets, supporting them to stay at home where routine and familiar surroundings matter most. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you’ll support day-to-day living, encourage meaningful routines, and use patience and quiet reassurance to help people feel safe and understood in their own homes in Croydon and across the local area.

Right now, 151 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Your role will be based on relationship-led care: learning a person’s life story, preserving familiar routines, prompting with gentle cues, supporting meals, personal care and companionship, and working calmly through distressing moments. This work suits experienced carers who value continuity, small meaningful tasks and time to get to know the same people rather than a rota of different calls. Many families across South Norwood look for carers who can provide consistent visits and the reassuring presence that helps someone with dementia keep their independence for longer.

On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you choose which clients to work with, which hours to accept and the areas you’ll cover. You set your own rates and keep control of your diary. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£21.30 per hour depending on the support needed and your experience.

What PrimeCarers handles for you

• Introductions to families and client matching so you spend less time searching.
• Contract management, invoicing and secure payments — PrimeCarers handles the admin.
• Insurance cover while you’re working through the platform.

What we ask from carers

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally including dementia support.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
