This kind of role suits experienced carers who understand dementia care: someone calm under pressure, skilled at creating reassuring routines, and comfortable working closely with families to keep a person’s life as familiar as possible. Tasks usually include companionship, supporting personal care where needed, meal support, walking and mobility assistance, simple re-orientation prompts, and careful observation with clear notes for families and healthcare teams. You will not be asked to undertake clinical tasks beyond your qualifications.

PrimeCarers finds introductions to families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: set your rates, accept the clients you want and control your diary. Many carers who live near Chorleywood also cover nearby areas such as Rickmansworth, Harefield, Ley Hill, Amersham, Northwood and Watford and other parts of Buckinghamshire.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify your documents and references quickly so your profile can be visible to families within days. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
