Dementia Carer Jobs in West Wickham

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across West Wickham, helping them keep routine, familiar surroundings and dignity. This is ongoing self‑employed dementia care work for experienced carers who want to move away from agency constraints while still delivering patient, person‑centred support.

Right now, 191 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Your role will focus on companionship, supporting daily routines, prompts with medication and meals, and adapting interactions as needs change. Many families prefer carers who can bring calm, clear cues and predictable patterns so a client feels safe at home. You might support people with waking-night care, short daytime visits or longer calls — you choose the hours that fit your life.

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with local families and handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you work. You set your own rates and hours, and typical rates for these roles fall in the range £18.80–£20 per hour. You can offer hourly care (typical range: £18.80–£20 per hour) or live‑in support (typical day range: £145–£160 per day) depending on what you want to take on.

This work suits carers who already have at least a year of professional care experience, strong references and the right to work in the UK. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have a recent check. You’ll also need verifiable references and a willingness to work with people living with dementia using patience, routine and respectful communication.

Many of our carers live in and around West Wickham and cover nearby areas such as Coney Hall, Eden Park, Addington, Keston, New Addington and Elmers End. You remain self‑employed: you choose which clients to accept, which neighbourhoods you’ll travel to and the hours you work. Applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re an experienced carer fed up with rota restrictions and long admin processes, PrimeCarers offers a simpler way to work on your terms while focusing on the kind of dementia care you value.

To apply, create a profile, upload an Enhanced DBS if you have one (or request help), and add references. Once verified we’ll start matching you with families in West Wickham and Bromley who want consistent, compassionate support at home.
