Dementia Carer Jobs in Southgate

Supporting people with dementia at home is quiet, patient work that rewards empathy, observation and a steady routine. In Southgate and across Enfield you can deliver care that keeps people in familiar surroundings — offering reassurance, structure and companionship while helping with daily tasks, medication prompts and gentle personal care.

Right now, 235 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one single placement. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose which clients you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. You set your own rate and can expect typical roles at around £19–£21.50 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

What the role involves:

• Routine and reassurance: keeping daily patterns consistent, using memory prompts, and creating familiar cues at home.
• Practical support: assistance with washing, dressing, meals, light domestic tasks and medication reminders.
• Companionship and observation: spotting changes in mood or health, and keeping clear notes to share with families and health professionals.
• Family liaison: involving relatives in care plans and helping maintain the person’s independence for as long as possible.

This work suits experienced carers who are calm, patient and used to working with people living with memory loss. You do not need to leave Southgate to find regular clients — many carers work across Southgate, Enfield and nearby areas such as Arnos Grove, Osidge, Palmers Green, New Southgate, Bounds Green and Barnet.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Pay and flexibility: you are self-employed and set your own rates. Typical pay appears as £19–£21.50 per hour, with more specific ranges shown to carers for regular hourly work (£19–£21.50 per hour) and live-in care (£148–£164 per day). PrimeCarers handles invoicing and secure payments so you get paid for the hours you agree with a family, and insurance is included while you’re working through the platform.

Applying takes minutes. Complete your profile, submit ID and references, and we’ll verify your documents — profiles normally go live within days of verification. If you’re ready to move away from agency rota pressure and deliver patient, continuity-focused dementia care in Southgate and beyond, set up your PrimeCarers profile and start choosing the clients that suit you.
