Dementia Carer Jobs in Herne Hill

If you’re an experienced carer who prefers working with people in their own homes, there are ongoing opportunities in Herne Hill supporting clients living with dementia. These roles focus on patience, predictable routines and keeping familiar surroundings as part of good care. You’ll be able to work independently while keeping the person centred approaches you value most, whether that’s supporting morning routines, helping with meals, offering gentle companionship or overseeing safe movement around the home.

Right now, 231 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves tasks such as companionship, prompting medication and meals, supporting personal care, encouraging meaningful activity and making small adjustments to reduce confusion and risk. Dementia care is as much about presence and consistency as it is about hands‑on tasks — offering reassurance, keeping to a simple daily plan and noticing changes early. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than one specific post, so you can choose the kind of visits that match your strengths.

This opportunity suits carers with at least a year of professional care experience who value autonomy. On PrimeCarers you work as self‑employed, set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits in the local range of £18.80–£20 per hour; detailed ranges for hourly care and live‑in days are £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively. You decide which matches to accept and can keep regular visits that build familiarity and routine for the person you support.

To join you’ll need a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work. Many carers who move from agency work appreciate keeping the care relationship consistent, avoiding frequent handovers and building deeper connections in Herne Hill and across Lambeth.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing clients in Herne Hill or nearby areas like Woodlands, Westside, Brixton, Denmark Hill, Tulse Hill and East Dulwich.
