Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families looking for patient, consistent dementia support at home across Holloway. You’ll help people stay safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings by working with routines, offering calm companionship and supporting daily tasks in a way that respects dignity and choice. Right now, 230 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves gentle personal care, prompting or supporting with medication where asked, maintaining daily routines, emotional reassurance and meaningful activity that reflects a person’s history and preferences. This role suits experienced carers who understand how small, steady changes and predictable patterns make a real difference for someone living with dementia. Many carers choose to focus on longer visits and relationship-based support rather than quick calls, so familiarity and continuity matter.

PrimeCarers is built for people who want independence without the paperwork. Carers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and decide whether to offer short visits, regular day support or live-in care. Typical ranges for this kind of work are £18.80–£20 per hour; organisations that use hourly or live-in price bands often reference £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. While you run your own service, PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work.

We’re especially active around Holloway and nearby neighbourhoods including Finsbury Park, Highbury, Archway, Tufnell Park, Canonbury and Upper Holloway and across Islington — ideal if you prefer to work locally. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency routines, this could be a good step: more control over when you work, who you support and how you charge, combined with administrative support from PrimeCarers.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange a check if you don’t have one yet. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families in Holloway quickly.

If you value patience, consistency and keeping people living with dementia in their own homes, register with PrimeCarers and start choosing the kind of work that fits your life and values.
