Description
If you have a calm, patient approach and experience supporting people living with dementia, PrimeCarers has ongoing self-employed opportunities in Woodlands where you can help clients stay at home in familiar surroundings. You’ll focus on routine, reassurance and meaningful companionship rather than shift-driven tasks. Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These roles are for self-employed carers who want control: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and work in neighbourhoods across Woodlands and nearby areas such as Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, Brixton, Westside, Denmark Hill and East Dulwich. We help match you with families who need dementia support at home and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work.
Typical pay for these roles is flexible and reflects the level of support you offer: £18.80–£20 per hour. Some carers prefer regular hourly visits, others take longer calls or live-in arrangements; you decide which suits you best. PrimeCarers supports both hourly and longer-stay arrangements so you can build a sustainable pattern of work around your life in Woodlands and beyond.
This kind of work suits someone who already has experience in care and values continuity. You’ll be helping with daily routines, personal care when needed, safe mobilisation, medication prompts, and emotional support — all delivered with patience and a focus on the person’s history and preferences. Many families in Lambeth are looking for carers who can create calm, predictable days for their loved ones.
To join we ask for 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. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We don’t advertise one-off shifts here — this page is for ongoing self-employed opportunities across Woodlands and neighbouring communities.
If you’re ready to leave agency constraints and build closer relationships with the people you support, create a PrimeCarers profile today. The process is straightforward, and you remain in control of who you work with and when.
