Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Canning Town

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Canning Town and Newham. This role is about patience, steady routines and helping people keep the familiar rhythms of daily life — companionship, reassurance and practical support so someone can remain at home for longer. You’ll support tasks like personal care, medication prompts, mealtime routines and gentle activities that reduce anxiety and maintain dignity.

Right now, 221 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity — not a single placement. You decide who you work for, which hours suit you and how far you’ll travel from Canning Town. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and can expect typical ranges of £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency rounds. If you prefer to build one-to-one relationships, keep consistent routines and enable people to stay at home, this could be a good fit. Many carers join after agency work to focus on dementia support and to deliver more personalised care in familiar surroundings.

Requirements to join are straightforward:

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

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer you set your own hourly rate, choose your clients and manage your diary. PrimeCarers supports you with client matching, contracts and prompt payments so you can focus on care. If you’re open to live-in work, we also list typical live-in day ranges; for day and hourly roles see £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day when available on your profile.
