Description
Are you an experienced carer who prefers the calm of home-based dementia support? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Walthamstow, helping people stay safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Work that centres on patience, routine and meaningful companionship suits this role. Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a self-employed dementia support carer you’ll help with day-to-day life at home — supporting routines, prompting medication, encouraging mealtime and activities that reduce anxiety, and offering calm company during hard moments. Your work will be tailored to each person’s needs so clients can remain at home rather than moving to residential care. You’ll find work across Walthamstow and nearby areas such as Walthamstow Village, Nags Head, Upper Walthamstow, Snaresbrook, Lea Bridge and Leyton, often within Waltham Forest itself.
You set your own rate and choose the hours, clients and service area that suit you. Typical pay is shown as £18.80–£20 per hour. For clarity, roles are usually advertised as hourly care (£18.80–£20 per hour) or live-in day rates (£145–£160 per day) — you decide what to charge and which offers to accept.
PrimeCarers makes it easier to work independently. We match you with families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working with a client. That means less admin for you and more time with the people you support.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience — ideally with people living with dementia
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is approved you can review matches and accept the clients and shifts that fit your life. Many carers move to PrimeCarers after agency work because they want more control, clearer pay and fewer layers of paperwork.
If you value steady, person-centred dementia support in the community — from Walthamstow Village and Nags Head to Lea Bridge, Leyton and beyond — this could be the next step in your career. Create your profile, choose your clients and keep doing the work you care about, on your terms.
