Description

Are you an experienced carer who prefers helping people remain at home, keeping to familiar routines and offering calm, patient support? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Tower Hamlets who need dementia care at home. You’ll support people to stay comfortable in their own surroundings, help with daily routines, companionship and personalised practical care — all while choosing the clients and hours that suit you.

Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work here is about patience, consistency and small moments: prompting a cup of tea at the right time, using reminiscence to ease anxiety, maintaining evening routines to reduce sundowning and supporting families with clear, compassionate communication. Carers come from Mile End, Limehouse, Bow, Ratcliff, Stepney and Bromley-by-Bow as well as other parts of Tower Hamlets and Greater London, and often work across nearby streets and neighbourhoods to keep journeys short and relationships strong.

On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rate and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for dementia care in the area sits around £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who value continuity of care and building relationships. You’ll be comfortable working alone in a client’s home, following routines, and adapting communication to each person’s needs. Families often need support with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, light domestic tasks and social engagement tailored to the person’s history.

To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applications take minutes to submit and most profiles go live within days of verification — so you can be visible to local families quickly.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Tower Hamlets — not a single role. If you’re ready to move away from agency shifts and build longer-term, person-centred arrangements with local families, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a practical next step. Apply in minutes and take control of the care you give and how you work in Tower Hamlets.
