Part-time live-out dementia carer in Lewisham, London

We are looking for a compassionate and experienced female carer to join an existing care team supporting a 91-year-old client living with dementia in Lewisham, London. The client is bed-bound and requires attentive, gentle care from someone who understands the unique needs associated with dementia and limited mobility.

This is a visiting care role offering approximately 20 hours per week, covering open shifts within an established rota. You would be working alongside a dedicated team of carers already in place, so the ability to communicate effectively, follow existing care plans, and maintain consistency of care is essential.

Key responsibilities are likely to include:

• Providing personal care such as washing, changing, and repositioning to maintain comfort and skin integrity
• Assisting with meals, hydration, and medication prompts
• Offering companionship, reassurance, and emotional support
• Monitoring the client's wellbeing and reporting any changes in condition
• Maintaining accurate care records

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience caring for individuals living with dementia
• Experience supporting bed-bound or mobility-limited clients
• A patient, warm, and empathetic approach
• Reliability and flexibility to cover rota shifts as needed
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team

This role is needed promptly, ideally within the next week, so candidates who are available to start soon are particularly encouraged to apply. The position is self-funded by the family.

If you are a caring and dependable professional who thrives in a team environment and has a genuine passion for supporting elderly clients with complex needs, we would love to hear from you.
