Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Tilbury

Work as a dementia support carer in Tilbury, helping people stay safe and settled at home by keeping to routine, using patience and supporting familiar surroundings. This is for experienced carers who value continuity of care and want to work directly with families while remaining self‑employed: you choose clients, hours and your service area. Right now, 62 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Many of the roles need someone comfortable with memory‑loss conditions, offering companionship, support with personal care, medication prompts and gentle encouragement to follow daily routines. You’ll work with families to maintain a calm, familiar home environment, often supporting people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias through predictable plans and reassuring presence. Work across Tilbury and nearby areas like Gravesend, West Tilbury, Northfleet, Grays, Chafford Hundred and Swanscombe and Greenhithe.

Pay is set by you. On PrimeCarers carers set their own rates — most carers in the area charge between £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the service required. You can offer hourly visits or live‑in support and list both £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day on your profile so families can choose what suits them.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working on a booking. We’ll also support you with admin so you can focus on caring. If you need help with an Enhanced DBS check, we can assist with arrangements as part of getting your profile verified.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to apply), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and applying takes minutes. Many carers moving away from agency rotas appreciate the control and the opportunity to build ongoing relationships with people in Thurrock and the surrounding communities.
