Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Camberwell who want compassionate, routine-led support for someone living with dementia at home. You’ll help keep daily life familiar — prompting, companionship, support with personal care, medication reminders and gentle reassurance that respects pace and memory. Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work in familiar neighbourhoods across Camberwell and the surrounding area, including Denmark Hill, Burgess Park, Walworth, Oval, Peckham and Westside, helping people stay at home where they feel safe. This type of role suits carers who value patience, steady routines and small, meaningful moments: sharing tea, supporting mealtimes, prompting activity, and adapting tasks as a client’s needs change over time.
This platform is built for carers looking to move away from traditional agency models. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area — many carers use the flexibility to balance other commitments or focus on small caseloads offering continuity of care. Typical pay for dementia support on the platform is £18.80–£20 per hour. We do not promise any particular income, because you choose the shifts and clients that fit your life.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working on a placement arranged through the platform. You keep control of how you work; we take care of the paperwork so you can focus on care.
Requirements to join:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
Application takes minutes online. Once you’ve created a profile and supplied the required checks and references, our team verifies your details — profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re already working in Lambeth or nearby, switching to a self-employed model with PrimeCarers can be quick and straightforward.
If you’re a calm, observant carer who understands the importance of routine, small cues and respectful pacing, joining PrimeCarers could let you deliver better continuity of care for people with dementia in Camberwell. Create your profile, set the hours you want, and start choosing clients who value consistent, home-based support.
