Description

Looking for dementia care work in East Barnet and nearby Enfield that gives you more control? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers directly with families who want confident, patient support at home. You keep control of who you work for and when, while we handle the matching and the paperwork. Right now, 120 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work focuses on supporting people living with dementia to stay at home in familiar surroundings. That means using patience, clear routines, memory prompts and gentle reassurance so daily life feels safe and predictable. Tasks often include companionship, supporting personal care, prompting medication, helping with simple domestic tasks and keeping to a consistent schedule that reduces confusion. You’ll be expected to work in a person‑centred way that values dignity and small familiar rituals that calm and orientate.

This type of role suits experienced carers who prefer continuity — forming relationships with a few families rather than moving between many short shifts. If you’ve worked in domiciliary care, care homes or supported living and want to leave agency-style constraints, PrimeCarers lets you set your own approach while remaining self‑employed. You decide your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates from £18.80–£21 per hour. For reference, typical pay bands used by families are £18.80–£21 per hour for hourly care and £145–£161.50 per day for live‑in days.

To join you’ll need at least 1 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 profiles quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers then introduces you to families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments; public liability and professional indemnity cover are included for the periods you’re working through the platform.

Working through PrimeCarers means you can build repeat, local work in East Barnet and surrounding areas such as Barnet, Brunswick Park, Oakleigh Park, Osidge, Whetstone and Cockfosters. You’ll be paid directly through the platform, set your availability, and keep the personal touch that matters most in dementia care. If you value routine, slow-paced support and getting to know people properly, this route could suit you.

If you’re ready to take more control of your care work while staying focused on high‑quality dementia support in East Barnet and Enfield, create your PrimeCarers profile now. The sign-up only takes minutes and gets you visible to families looking for reliable, experienced carers.
