Description
Are you an experienced carer who knows how patience, routine and familiar surroundings help people living with dementia stay calm and engaged at home? In Wallington we connect skilled, self-employed carers with families who want consistent, respectful support that keeps a person’s life as normal as possible. Right now, 222 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Your work will focus on in-home dementia support: keeping and following daily routines, gentle prompting with personal care and medication, meaningful companionship, mealtime support and calming approaches for anxiety or confusion. Tasks are about safety, dignity and continuity — not clinical procedures. Many families prefer to keep their loved one at home in Wallington and the surrounding area, and your steady presence makes that possible.
This route suits carers who value long-term relationships and continuity. If you're used to agency life but want to choose the people you support, the hours you work and where you travel, PrimeCarers gives that freedom. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£20.20 per hour and you can also see ranges for different shift types (e.g. £18.80–£20.20 per hour or £145–£160 per day) when you create a profile.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. We help with the practical admin so you can focus on caring. Many carers cover Wallington and nearby towns such as Carshalton, Beddington, Waddon, Purley, South Croydon and Mitcham, serving families who value continuity and a calm, routine-based approach. You can work across the Sutton area if you choose, or keep your service area tight and local.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it. Applying takes minutes and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days.
