Description

Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed dementia carer supporting people to stay at home in familiar surroundings around Clapham Common. You’ll help maintain routines, offer calm, patient companionship and support with daily tasks that matter — meals, personal care, prompts for medication and gentle activity tailored to the person’s history. Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work suits experienced carers who value continuity of care and are used to working with respect and patience. Many of the roles are for clients who prefer someone who can keep a steady routine and familiar faces in and around Clapham Common, with occasional calls into nearby areas such as Clapham, Balham, Battersea, Battersea Park, Brixton and Stockwell and wider Wandsworth. You’ll be working one‑to‑one in people’s homes, helping them remain comfortable, oriented and known rather than moving into institutional care.

As a PrimeCarers carer you’re self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep the control often lost under agency rotas. Typical roles list pay of £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work for a booked assignment, so you can concentrate on care, not admin.

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. We don’t advertise one fixed role here — this page promotes ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Clapham Common and neighbouring streets. Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days once we’ve verified documents.

If you’re used to agency life but want more say over who you see, when you work and the kind of dementia support you provide, PrimeCarers is built for that transition. You might be looking for shorter calls, regular morning and evening support, or longer live‑in days; whatever you prefer, you choose the clients you accept.

Ready to start? Create a profile, upload your references and DBS and we’ll begin matching you to households requiring dementia care around Clapham Common and across Wandsworth. Profiles are verified quickly so you can start receiving enquiries within days.
