Description

Support people living with dementia to stay at home in familiar surroundings across Gospel Oak and nearby streets. This page is for experienced, self‑employed carers who want to focus on patient, routine‑based care that keeps people calm and connected to the places they know best.
Right now, 168 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves companionship, prompting and supporting daily routines, personal care where needed, medication prompts, and gentle reassurance during moments of confusion or distress. You’ll be the steady presence that helps a person keep their day predictable: familiar faces, predictable timings and small, consistent tasks can make a big difference. Shifts vary — short visits, longer daytime calls or live‑in support — depending on client need and your availability.

This type of care suits practitioners who already have hands‑on experience with dementia, value continuity and want to move away from strict rota systems. If you’re thinking of leaving agency life, PrimeCarers lets you keep the care you love while taking control over your work: set your own clients, hours and service area — whether that’s central Gospel Oak or neighbouring streets. You can also consider work in nearby areas such as Tufnell Park, Kentish Town, Chalk Farm, Upper Holloway, Archway and Belsize Park.

Pay and working patterns are yours to choose. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates; many list within £19–£21.50 per hour. You can advertise hourly care with £19–£21.50 per hour or live‑in day rates using £148–£165 per day depending on the support you offer. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on delivering reliable, routine-led dementia support.

To join you’ll need 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. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
