Description

If you’re an experienced carer who knows the difference routine and familiarity make for someone living with dementia, Stoke Newington has ongoing self‑employed roles that let you deliver thoughtful, home‑based support. Work where familiar surroundings and patient, consistent care matter most. Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These opportunities are for self‑employed carers who want more control than traditional agency work: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay for this role is £18.80–£20 per hour and many carers use the flexibility to build steady, meaningful rounds that respect daily routine and small rituals which help people with dementia stay calmer and more engaged.

What the work looks like: supporting people at home with compassionate personal care, prompting with medication and routines, preparing simple meals, encouraging activities that connect to past interests, and noticing small changes in mood or health. The emphasis is on patience, repetition, and keeping days predictable so a client can remain comfortable in their own home.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who enjoy building relationships and working alone or alongside families. It’s ideal if you’ve been doing agency shifts and want to move toward consistent, self‑directed care where your time is respected and your skills are valued.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. You remain self‑employed, so you keep control of your working pattern and client choices. Typical pay markers include an hourly range of £18.80–£20 per hour and a live‑in day range of £145–£160 per day to help you decide what to offer.

  • Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.
  • Apply in minutes: creating a profile takes only a few minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
  • Work locally: many carers choose to work across Stoke Newington and nearby areas such as Stamford Hill, Shacklewell, West Hackney, Highbury, Finsbury Park and Upper Clapton, and in parts of Hackney.
  • Choose your clients: you decide which clients are the right fit for your skills and values.

If you’re ready to keep people with dementia supported in the comfort of home, with patience and a steady routine, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to move from agency shifts into work you control.
