Dementia Carer Jobs in Lewisham

Work with people living with dementia in Lewisham, supporting them to stay at home with patience, familiar routines and meaningful company. As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area across Lewisham and nearby neighbourhoods, while the platform handles contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work.

Right now, 207 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work focuses on keeping life as calm and predictable as possible: supporting daily routines, prompting medication, helping with personal care where agreed, encouraging safe movement around the home and offering companionship through conversation and activities. Much of this support happens in people’s own houses across Lewisham and neighbouring areas such as Catford, Hither Green, Ladywell, Crofton Park, Lower Sydenham and Grove Park, where staying in a familiar environment can make a real difference.

This approach suits carers who have experience with dementia and value continuity — you’ll often work with the same person to build trust and routine. If you’re thinking of moving on from agency work, PrimeCarers lets you keep clinical and caring standards while taking control of your working life: you set your own rates (typical range £18.80–£20 per hour), choose shifts that suit you and decide how far you’ll travel within Greater London.

Pay and booking types vary by client. Many carers set hourly fees within £18.80–£20 per hour; others agree live‑in day rates in the range £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds enquiries, prepares the contract for each booking, issues invoices and processes payments so you can focus on care rather than admin.

To join you 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. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing local opportunities in Lewisham quickly.
