Description
Support people living with dementia in The Hale from the comfort of their own homes. This is hands-on, patient work that values routine, familiar surroundings and steady, reassuring company more than rapid task turnover.

Right now, 214 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These opportunities are for experienced carers who prefer the independence of self-employed work. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers in The Hale and nearby locations find the balance of autonomy and steady local work rewarding — PrimeCarers connects you with families across Edgware, Mill Hill, Burnt Oak, Grahame Park, Colindale and Barnet Gate and within Enfield borough.
Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer you set your own rates and keep control of your diary. Typical rates for this role are £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience, duties and whether care is hourly or live-in. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working on a booking, so you can focus on care.
Who this suits: experienced carers who understand dementia care techniques—validation, structured routines, distraction and reminiscence—and who work calmly under challenge. It suits people who prefer continuity: spending regular time with the same person so relationships and routines can form, rather than frequently changing calls. If you’re thinking of stepping away from agency rota work, this model gives you more say over who you work with and when.
