Description
Do you have experience supporting people living with dementia and prefer the deeper relationships that come from regular home care? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Cheshunt and the surrounding parts of Hertfordshire so you can support clients in familiar surroundings, follow routines that help reduce anxiety, and work with relatives to keep care calm and consistent.
Right now, 92 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically focuses on companionship, supporting daily routines, prompting medication where appropriate, helping with meals and light domestic tasks, and noticing small changes in mood or cognition so families can be supported earlier. You’ll be chosen for roles that match your approach: patience, a steady routine and respect for a client’s home and history are central. These roles suit carers who want to build long-term relationships rather than switch between short shifts.
Pay and practical flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical rates sit around £18.80–£21 per hour with more detailed ranges shown as £18.80–£21 per hour for hourly care and £145.50–£161 per day for live-in day rates. Many carers cover Cheshunt and nearby towns such as Waltham Cross, Waltham Abbey, Freezywater, Enfield Lock, Bulls Cross and Enfield Wash so you can plan travel and shifts that fit your life.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork: we prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working with a family. That means you keep the freedom of self-employment without carrying all the admin on your own. Applying only takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be matched quickly when a suitable family needs dementia support in Cheshunt.
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. We verify those documents and references so families can feel confident inviting you into their home.
If you’re an experienced carer thinking of moving away from agency routines and want more control over who you work with and when, PrimeCarers can help you make that change without losing support. Create your profile in minutes and start choosing the dementia care roles around Cheshunt that match your skills and values.
