Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Dalston

Support people living with dementia in their own homes across Dalston and neighbouring streets. This work is about small, steady routines: helping with familiar meals, supporting personal care with patience, keeping a calm, predictable day and preserving the things that make a home feel like home. Many families want carers who understand memory loss, value continuity and prefer people who can reduce distress through reassurance and consistent pacing.

Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay is in the range £18.80–£20 per hour and can vary depending on the care required and whether shifts are hourly or live‑in; see £18.80–£20 per hour for standard hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.

This work suits experienced carers who prefer the consistency of home support and the chance to build trust with families. If you’ve spent time in agencies and want more control, Dalston offers a mix of steady daytime calls and longer evenings where continuity matters most. You’ll spend time building routines, using non‑medical approaches to manage anxiety, supporting mealtimes and mobility, and working with relatives to keep familiar objects and activities at the centre of care. You may travel into nearby neighbourhoods such as Shacklewell, Haggerston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central, West Hackney and Hoxton as you expand hours.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We’ll verify your details quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Because carers are self‑employed you’re free to accept or decline matches, change your availability and manage your diary around other commitments.

If you’re based in Dalston or elsewhere in Islington and you want to offer dementia support that keeps clients at home with dignity, this platform is designed to put you in control of your work while taking care of administration and payments. Create a profile, choose the families that fit your skills, and concentrate on the relationship‑based care that matters.

If you have questions or want help with your DBS or references, PrimeCarers will guide you through the checks and the set‑up process so you can start supporting people living with dementia as soon as your profile is verified.
