Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Battersea

If you support people living with dementia at home and prefer the calm of familiar routines, Battersea has regular self-employed opportunities that let you build meaningful, long-term relationships. Right now, 233 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles focus on person-centred care: keeping a consistent routine, encouraging memory-friendly activities, supporting personal care with patience and preserving dignity in a familiar home. You’ll be working with clients who benefit from continuity — the same faces, similar mealtimes, gentle prompts and steady company. Many carers find this predictable environment better for both them and the person they support in Battersea and the wider Wandsworth area.

On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the hours you want and pick clients in areas you cover. Typical pay for dementia support sits around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience, responsibilities and whether a role is live-in or hourly. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience, a right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. You don’t need to leave Battersea to find work — many carers cover nearby streets and neighbourhoods such as Sands End, Castelnau, Battersea Park, Chelsea, Clapham Common and Nine Elms — and you can restrict your service area if you prefer shorter travel.

How flexible it is: pick daytime visits, evening support, or longer continuity shifts. Choose clients whose needs and routines suit your skills and approach. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers who want to move away from agency rotas without taking on marketing, invoicing or contract admin themselves.

Applying only takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you already work in Wandsworth or Battersea and want more control over your work and better continuity for the people you support, this could be the step that gives you both stability and choice.
