Dementia Carer Jobs in Southend

Supporting someone with dementia at home is about patience, routine and preserving familiar surroundings. As a dementia carer on PrimeCarers you’ll help people remain safe and comfortable in their own Southend homes, keeping day-to-day rhythms, encouraging independence where possible and offering calm, consistent companionship. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced, thoughtful carers who know that small things — a favourite chair, a morning routine, a trusted face — make a big difference. Many of the carers we connect with choose to work across Southend, Southend on Sea and nearby areas such as Southend on Sea, Prettlewell, Westcliff on Sea, Southchurch, Thorpe Bay and Rochford. You’ll work self-employed, set your own rates and decide which clients and hours fit your life. Typical pay sits in the range £19–£21.50 per hour, with the freedom to pick shorter visits, regular day calls or longer shifts depending on each family’s needs.

PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work through the platform. The application takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification — a simple route away from agency routines and into a more autonomous way of working across Southend and greater Essex.

What we need from you

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have a current check).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
