Description
If you’re an experienced carer who prefers supporting people with dementia in the comfort of their own home, Aldborough Hatch has ongoing self‑employed opportunities that put routine, familiarity and patience first. You’ll be helping people stay safe and settled where they belong, working with families who value continuity and compassion. Right now, 190 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically involves gentle personal care, companionship, supporting daily routines, medication prompting and assisting with mealtimes and mobility where needed. The emphasis is on maintaining familiar rhythms, reducing confusion and building trust — not task‑racing. These roles suit carers who are calm under pressure, enjoy one‑to‑one time and know how to work flexibly around a client’s needs.
As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own terms: you choose clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical rates for this kind of care fall in £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
If you live in Aldborough Hatch or nearby — including Barkingside, Newbury Park, Goodmayes, Seven Kings, Gants Hill and Becontree Heath — you can build a local caseload that suits you. Many carers who work in Redbridge appreciate the short travel, consistent calls and the ability to work close to home.
To join, you’ll need 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. We verify documents before profiles go live to protect clients and carers alike:
- Experience: Minimum 1 year of professional care experience.
- Checks: Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can assist with the application).
- Eligibility: Right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single position. Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload checks and references, and choose the sort of dementia care you want to offer. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and from there you can review and accept clients that fit your skills and availability.
If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and provide steady, person‑centred dementia care in Aldborough Hatch and across Redbridge, PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward so you can concentrate on what matters.
