As a dementia support carer you’ll focus on companionship, gentle prompting, personal care where needed and keeping daily routines that reduce confusion and distress. Much of the work is about listening, small consistent choices and adapting activities to the person’s history — whether that means helping with morning routines, supporting mealtimes, supervising safe mobility or simply being a steady presence. Many families in Waddon and nearby areas such as Beddington, South Croydon, Wallington, Purley, Carshalton and Addiscombe ask for carers who can offer this continuity. You may also cover short shifts or longer daytime visits; some carers choose occasional live-in work.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates.
