Description

Are you an experienced carer who wants to support people living with dementia in their own homes around Totteridge and nearby areas? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers directly with families who want patient, consistent support that keeps people in familiar surroundings. Right now, 210 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves supporting a client with a steady routine, companionship and conversation, personal care and medication prompts, and gentle encouragement with everyday tasks. Dementia support at home is about knowing the person, keeping things familiar and calm, and working with families to maintain routines. You will often be the trusted face who helps someone stay confident and safe in their own home in Totteridge.

This type of work suits carers who value continuity and time to build relationships rather than quick visits. If you are used to delivering person‑centred care, managing small changes in behaviour with patience, and working collaboratively with family members, you’ll find these roles rewarding. PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities for carers across Totteridge and neighbouring communities.

Pay and practicalities: you are self‑employed, so you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for dementia support carers are £18.80–£20 per hour. You can advertise an hourly rate or offer live‑in support depending on your preference (typical ranges: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day). PrimeCarers introduces clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can focus on care.

Minimum requirements to join: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We welcome carers based in Totteridge as well as those who cover Enfield and Whetstone, Woodside Park, Oakleigh Park, Chipping Barnet, North Finchley and Brunswick Park.

If you’re ready to move away from agency routines and offer steadier, relationship‑led dementia support at home, create your PrimeCarers profile today. It’s quick to apply, you remain self‑employed and in control, and you choose the work that fits your life in Totteridge and beyond.
