Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Hainault who want kind, consistent dementia support at home. You’ll help people remain in familiar surroundings, keeping to routines that reduce anxiety and promote dignity. Right now, 174 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work is focused on supporting clients living with dementia: gentle prompting with personal care, safe mealtimes, companionship, helping maintain daily routines and memory-friendly activities. This role suits carers who value patience, small practical adjustments and steady relationships rather than high-turnover rota work. Many carers who join from local agencies find the continuity in Hainault makes a real difference to clients and to job satisfaction — you’ll often work with the same people over weeks and months.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for these roles falls in the region of £18.80–£20 per hour; many carers advertise within the £18.80–£20 per hour band for hourly visits or the £145–£160 per day range for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working so you can focus on care, not admin.

To join you 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. We’ll support you through verification so your profile can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically appear within days of verification — many carers from across Redbridge and surrounding areas start receiving enquiries in the first week.

Opportunities are available across Hainault and nearby neighbourhoods such as Marks Gate, Aldborough Hatch, Barkingside, Collier Row, Chase Cross and Chadwell Heath. If you prefer mornings, evenings, live-in work or a mix of visits, you can choose what fits your life. You’ll be matched with families looking specifically for dementia-experienced support and can decide which introductions to accept.

If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and build more consistent, purposeful relationships with people living with dementia in Hainault, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step. The application is straightforward, and our team supports DBS checks and reference checks so you can begin offering dependable, compassionate care to local families.
