Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Upper Holloway who need sensitive, routine‑led support for someone living with dementia. You’ll be helping people stay at home where they are most comfortable — keeping familiar routines, offering calm companionship and supporting day‑to‑day tasks with patience and respect across the Haringey area. Right now, 169 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work focuses on person‑centred home care: keeping to routines, supporting memory with prompts and simple aids, offering reassurance during disorientation and assisting with personal care where needed. It also includes practical help like preparing meals, supporting mobility and accompanying clients to appointments when required. You’ll usually work in a client’s own home so continuity, calm and a steady presence matter as much as hands‑on skills.

This approach suits experienced carers who want to move away from rota‑led agency life and prefer control over who they support and when. On PrimeCarers you are self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the area you cover. Typical pay sits around £19–£21.50 per hour depending on the support needed and your experience. Many families across Upper Holloway and nearby Archway, Tufnell Park, Highgate, Gospel Oak, Holloway and Kentish Town choose carers through PrimeCarers because they want consistent, familiar faces for their loved ones.

To join you must have 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. We don’t list a single job here — we advertise ongoing opportunities across Upper Holloway so you can pick the clients and shifts that fit your life. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and you’re covered by insurance while you work.

Applying takes minutes and your profile will usually go live within days of verification. If you live in or near Upper Holloway and you’re used to dementia care with a calm, routine‑based style, this could be a straightforward way to keep doing work that matters while taking back control of your hours and rates.
