Working in care in Haringey

From Tottenham to Muswell Hill: is there care work for you in Haringey?

Haringey is ageing faster than most of London. Between the 2011 and 2021 censuses its median age rose by four years, from 32 to 36, which took it slightly above the London average. Most local care employers are home care agencies, with a smaller number of care homes and only a couple of nursing services, so the bulk of the work is in people's own homes across the borough's neighbourhoods, from Tottenham and Wood Green in the east to Hornsey and Muswell Hill in the west.

Haringey is one of London's most mixed boroughs for language. At the 2021 census Turkish was the main language of more than 9,500 residents, Spanish of about 8,000, Polish of nearly 6,000 and Portuguese of more than 4,000. A carer who can talk with someone in the language they grew up with can turn a rushed visit into a reassuring one, so list every language you speak.

Haringey Council can pay a personal budget as a direct payment, and its direct payment support team helps people who choose to employ their own care and support. The council publishes factsheets on recruiting staff, employing personal assistants, payroll and training PAs, which tells you private PA work is an established part of care here.

For NHS comparison, North Middlesex University Hospital in Edmonton serves a large part of Haringey and has been run by Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust since January 2025. Whittington Health runs many community services in the borough, and North London NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health care, including at St Ann's Hospital. Capital City College's Tottenham campus has health and social care classrooms at its Tottenham Green site, next to the main college.

87% of the inspected care employers in Haringey are rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, close to the 88% across London and in line with England as a whole (85%).
