Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Abbey Wood

If you have experience supporting people living with dementia and you'd prefer work that values patience, routine and familiar surroundings, PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families across Abbey Wood and Greenwich. You’ll provide in‑home support that helps people stay comfortable and safe where they belong. Right now, 189 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a dementia support carer on PrimeCarers you’ll focus on the kind of tasks families often need: gentle prompts with daily routines, companionship, supporting mealtimes, medication reminders, personal care where needed, and keeping the person’s day as familiar and calm as possible. Much of the work is about building trust, noticing small changes and helping relatives feel confident that their loved one is safe at home.

This is ongoing self‑employed work rather than a single role. Carers on the platform set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for dementia support sits around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care needed and hours agreed. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work.

You’ll find opportunities in Abbey Wood and nearby towns such as Thamesmead, East Wickham, Belvedere, Crossness, Plumstead and Creekmouth. Many families prefer carers who can be consistent and build a routine over weeks and months rather than one‑off visits.

Who this suits

• Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their time.
• People who work calmly with memory loss, use clear routines and value familiar surroundings.
• Those looking to balance caring work with family life or other commitments while staying local to Abbey Wood and Greenwich.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes: complete a short profile, upload checks and references, and PrimeCarers will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and from there you can review and accept the clients you want to work with.

If you’re an experienced carer in Abbey Wood who cares about continuity, dignity and routine for people living with dementia, this is a way to work more independently while keeping the practical support of a platform that handles bookings and payments.
