Description
Working with people living with dementia at home is rarely a short-term, clocked-in task. In Pentonville we connect self-employed carers who value routine, patience and continuity of relationships with families who want to keep loved ones in familiar surroundings. Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Pentonville and nearby areas; it is not one specific post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit them. Many local assignments involve supporting daily routines, prompting and reminding, companionship, safe mobility around the home, and working closely with families to keep familiar patterns in place. You’ll be supporting people to remain at home rather than moving into unfamiliar settings.
Pay and working arrangements are flexible: carers commonly set rates within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support required. Some carers offer short visits, evening support or longer live-in care where appropriate. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working through the platform.
This role suits experienced, patient carers who prefer continuity over shift-churning. If you’re thinking of moving from agencies to working independently, PrimeCarers gives you control without the administrative burden. You choose which enquiries to accept, and you control your diary and availability across Pentonville and surrounding neighbourhoods such as Clerkenwell, Angel, Kings Cross, St Pancras, Farringdon and Barnsbury.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We’ll ask for documentation during verification; once submitted, applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers will then match you with families looking for dementia-capable support in Camden and Pentonville.
PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to focus on care while keeping the benefits of independence: set your own fees, build lasting relationships and keep people living well at home. If you’re experienced in dementia care, comfortable with person-centred routines and enjoy working alongside families, this is an ongoing way to shape your work around your life.
Apply now — create a profile, complete verification and start reviewing local matches. Profiles usually go live within days, and many carers begin accepting assignments in and around Pentonville shortly after verification.
