Dementia Carer Jobs in Peckham Rye

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Peckham Rye and nearby streets, providing patient, routine-based support that lets them stay comfortable and familiar in the places they know best. Right now, 226 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Day-to-day this means building routines, offering gentle prompts and companionship, supporting personal care and meals in a way that reduces confusion and anxiety, and working with families to preserve dignity and continuity. Most of the roles in and around Peckham Rye are home visits, but some clients look for longer calls where creating a calm, familiar environment matters. If you prefer work close to where you live, you can set your service area to include Peckham, Nunhead, East Dulwich, Honor Oak or Brockley.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families and takes care of the admin: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical care rates are £18.80–£20 per hour and you can list availability for hourly or live-in work using £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day on your profile.

This work suits experienced care professionals who are calm under pressure, patient with changing needs, and good at following routines that comfort a person with memory loss. 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 check paperwork quickly so your profile can go live within days of verification.

Many carers who move from agency work to PrimeCarers tell us they value the continuity they can offer families in Southwark and the surrounding neighbourhoods — getting to know a person and their household routines rather than covering anonymous shifts. Roles are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than single fixed posts, and you remain in control of which families you accept and when you work.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll guide you through ID and DBS checks. Once verified you’ll start receiving enquiries from families in Peckham Rye and Nunhead, East Dulwich, Peckham, Honor Oak, Brockley and Dulwich; you can respond to matches and manage bookings directly. If you’re a compassionate, experienced carer who wants to support people with dementia at home, PrimeCarers makes it simple to stay independent while getting steady, local work.
