Dementia Support Carer Jobs in West Hackney

Working as a dementia support carer in West Hackney means helping people stay safe and comfortable at home.

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

This is an ongoing opportunity to work with adults living with dementia in West Hackney and the surrounding area. The role suits experienced carers who prefer consistent, relationship-based work rather than constantly changing buildings and rotas. You’ll focus on maintaining day-to-day rhythms, encouraging independence where possible, noticing small changes and communicating sensitively with relatives and other professionals. We are advertising ongoing self‑employed opportunities across West Hackney, not one specific shift or placement.

As a self‑employed carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — typical rates for dementia support are around £18.80–£20 per hour. Many of our carers cover West Hackney and nearby towns such as Shacklewell, Lower Clapton, Stoke Newington, Upper Clapton, Stamford Hill and Hackney Central. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and you’re covered by insurance while you work on assignments we place.

• Who can apply: at least 1 year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Checks: you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if you don’t already have it.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active you’ll be able to review potential matches and accept work that fits your availability and preferences. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the stability of regular clients and the chance to focus on meaningful, routine-based care in familiar homes across Hackney.

If you’re an experienced carer who values patient, relationship-focused dementia support and would like control over your hours and rates, creating a PrimeCarers profile is an efficient next step. You can be visible to families across West Hackney quickly and start choosing the kind of work that suits you.
