Description
Do you have experience supporting people living with dementia and prefer the calm of routine and familiar surroundings? In Upper Ruxley we connect self-employed carers with families who want consistent, patient support at home. Right now, 175 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These ongoing opportunities focus on home-based dementia care: companionship, maintaining daily routines, supporting personal care, managing mealtimes and medication prompts, and using gentle approaches when memory or behaviour changes. You’ll work with people who benefit from patience, predictable visits and someone who understands how small adjustments to the home and routine can make a real difference. Many families prefer regular carers who can build trust and consistency over time in Upper Ruxley and nearby areas.
PrimeCarers makes finding work straightforward while you stay in control. Carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
This work suits experienced carers who value hands-on, relationship-led support and want more say over their working life than traditional agency work allows. You might already be supporting people in Bexley, Ruxley or Foots Cray and want to formalise that work, or you might be ready to step away from rota-driven shifts and build longer-term, meaningful home-based care.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience — experience with dementia care is essential.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if needed).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once approved, you can browse introductions and choose the clients and hours that fit your life. You remain self-employed and set the way you work, whether you prefer short daytime visits, regular calls each week or longer live-in days where appropriate.
If you already work around Upper Ruxley or in the surrounding towns — Ruxley, North Cray, Foots Cray, Swanley, Bexley Village and St Pauls Cray — this is a simple way to find more local, dementia-focused work without giving up control.
