Description
If you’re an experienced carer who knows the difference routine and patience make for someone living with dementia, PrimeCarers can connect you with families around Battersea Park who want reliable, familiar home support. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities that let you work one‑to‑one in a person’s own home, keeping the day predictable and respectful for the person you support. Right now, 168 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically involves companionship, prompting for personal care, supporting daily routines, gentle re‑orientation, and working with families to keep familiar activities where possible. Many assignments focus on small, practical tasks done at the pace the person needs: making drinks, supervising mealtimes, helping with medication prompts, and supporting short walks in local parks. Carers in Battersea Park often help maintain consistent routines that reduce distress and preserve dignity.
This is a good fit if you value continuity, know how to read subtle changes in mood or needs, and prefer spending longer, calmer visits rather than rushed calls. Many carers who join from agency work enjoy the control here — you can offer the kind of person‑centred support dementia care needs while avoiding back‑to‑back, inflexible shifts.
Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates within typical local ranges such as £19–£21.50 per hour. You choose the clients, the hours and the service area you cover, whether you want short visits, longer companionship shifts or live‑in support. For reference, typical ranges are available for hourly and live‑in work: £19–£21.50 per hour and £148–£165 per day.
Practical support from PrimeCarers: We find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means less paperwork and quicker payment, so you can focus on care in Battersea Park, Wandsworth and nearby areas like Nine Elms, Battersea, Pimlico, Clapham, Stockwell and Chelsea.
Requirements to join: You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and many profiles go live within days of verification.
We’ll never offer one specific post here — instead we introduce you to families who want steady, compassionate home support. If you want more meaningful, relationship‑based dementia work in Battersea Park and across Wandsworth, create a profile and start choosing the clients and hours that suit you.
