Dementia Carer Jobs in St Johns Wood

Support people living with dementia to stay safe and comfortable at home in St Johns Wood. You’ll work with clients who benefit from patience, gentle routines and familiar surroundings — helping with personal care, companionship, medication prompts, meal support and activity that maintains dignity and memory where possible. We’re looking for carers who value consistency and calm, and can build rapport with both clients and families in St Johns Wood and the surrounding area.
Right now, 229 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. You set your own rate and availability, and many carers choose to work around other commitments or reduce agency hours. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, with more detail available for hourly and live-in work: £18.80–£20 per hour (hourly) and £145–£160 per day (live-in day rates). PrimeCarers introduces you to suitable families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client.

This work suits experienced carers who prefer to deliver dementia-focused support at home: people who are confident with routines, can adapt communication as memory changes, and welcome the slower, more relational pace that keeps clients settled in their own homes. If you currently work through an agency but would like more control over the hours you accept and the people you support, this model gives you that freedom while taking care of the admin.

Requirements to join are straightforward and practical. You must have 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 documents quickly so your profile can go live within days once everything is in place.

You choose your clients, hours and service area — many of our carers work across St Johns Wood and nearby neighbourhoods such as St John's, Swiss Cottage, Maida Vale, Lisson Grove, Little Venice and Belsize Park. PrimeCarers matches you with families in Camden and beyond, and handles invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Interested? Create a profile, tell us about your dementia care experience and the hours you want, and we’ll be in touch with suitable matches. If you have questions about DBS checks, setting rates or how invoicing works, our team is happy to help.
