Description

Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes around Lower Clapton, helping maintain routine, familiar surroundings and patient companionship. This role suits carers who prefer continuity of care — the same faces, the same small rhythms that help a person with dementia stay calm and engaged. Right now, 220 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Many local carers who used to work through agencies now value being able to build long relationships in Lower Clapton and nearby streets. The typical rate range for this kind of role is £18.80–£20 per hour and you can choose how you charge within that band.

Typical dementia support at home includes establishing gentle routines, prompting and assisting with daily living, companionship, reassurance during transitions, and working with families to keep familiar objects and cues in place. You’ll be respected for providing patient, calm care rather than rushed tasks. You may visit households for short calls, longer day visits or regular blocks of time — you choose what fits your life and the person’s needs.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of all contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, and PrimeCarers supports the administrative side so you can focus on care. You can be matched to clients in Lower Clapton and across Hackney, including nearby areas such as Hackney Central, West Hackney, Homerton, Upper Clapton, Shacklewell and Dalston.

To join, you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t yet have an up-to-date Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. Applying takes minutes and, once verified, profiles typically go live within days.
