Dementia Support Carer

Families in Mile End and across Tower Hamlets are looking for carers with real dementia experience — people who understand routine, patience and how much familiar surroundings matter. If you've supported clients living with dementia and can bring calm and consistency to their day, your skills are in demand here. Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Pay: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. For this kind of work, carers in the catchment around Mile End typically charge £18.80–£20 per hour (hourly care locally runs at £18.80–£20 per hour, and live-in placements at £145–£160 per day). You keep control of your rate — we never set it for you.

How it works: PrimeCarers is an introductory platform, not an agency. We find you clients in Mile End and Bow, Stepney, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Ratcliff and Bromley-by-Bow, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insure you while you work — you choose your clients, your hours and your rate.

What you'll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check — we can help you arrange one
  • The right to work in the UK
  • References we can verify

Apply today: registering takes a few minutes, and most carers are live and applying for jobs in Mile End within days of completing verification.
