Description

Working as a self-employed dementia support carer in Waltham Cross gives you the chance to help people stay safe and calm in their own homes while keeping the freedom to run your own day. You’ll support people who benefit from patience, predictable routines and the comfort of familiar surroundings — helping with companionship, prompting medication and meals, supporting personal care, and keeping household life steady for people living with dementia in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire.

Right now, 176 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity for experienced carers who want to move away from agency shifts and take more control. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and area they cover. Many carers on the platform work around Freezywater, Cheshunt, Enfield Lock, Bulls Cross, Enfield Wash and Waltham Abbey and across Waltham Cross. Typical rates vary — carers on PrimeCarers commonly advertise within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and services offered.

PrimeCarers finds you local families and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work. That means you can be self-employed without taking on all the admin alone. You choose which referrals to accept and keep the control over your diary.

The kind of support you might provide includes:

  • Building predictable daily routines and activity plans to reduce anxiety
  • Companionship, memory prompts and meaningful conversation
  • Prompting or assisting with medication, meals and hydration
  • Support with personal care and safe mobility within the home
  • Light household tasks that keep a familiar environment

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re an experienced carer who values patience, continuity and working in people’s own homes, PrimeCarers can connect you with families in Waltham Cross and nearby areas. You remain self-employed, choose your work and keep more of what you earn while we support the admin side.
