Description

Support people living with dementia in their own homes across Westside with compassion, routine and respect for familiar surroundings. You’ll help keep daily life steady — small rituals, steady timetables and calm companionship make a real difference to someone’s wellbeing. Right now, 157 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These opportunities suit experienced carers who prefer the continuity of relationship-based work: regular calls with the same people, time to learn their history and small cues that help memory. Typical tasks include prompting medication, supporting personal care, encouraging activity and conversation, assisting with meals and safe mobilising, and keeping to familiar routines that reduce confusion. Most care takes place in clients’ homes across Westside and nearby neighbourhoods such as Brixton, Stockwell, Herne Hill, Woodlands, Clapham and Denmark Hill.

PrimeCarers connects you directly with families while you remain self-employed. You set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area — many carers work within £18.80–£21.10 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

Requirements to join are straightforward and tailored to people already working in care: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Westside and wider Lambeth, not a single advertised role.

  • Who this suits: carer-workers who want steady, relationship-based dementia support, prefer working directly with families and are ready to manage their own diary.
  • What you’ll need: hands-on experience with dementia, patience for routine, good communication with families and local knowledge of Westside and neighbouring areas.
  • Flexibility: choose daytime visits, short blocks or longer home-based support. You control your availability and which clients you accept.
  • How to apply: create a profile, upload your ID, DBS and references, and complete verification. PrimeCarers helps with paperwork so you can be visible to families quickly.

If you’re ready to move away from agency rounds and build deeper connections with people living with dementia in Westside, PrimeCarers gives you the platform and admin support to do it your way. Apply now — it only takes minutes and you could be taking bookings across Westside and Lambeth within days.
