Dementia Carer Jobs in Basingstoke

Work with people living with dementia in their own homes across Basingstoke and the surrounding area. These roles focus on keeping routines, encouraging familiarity and offering calm, patient support — helping families keep loved ones comfortable where they are happiest. Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is the kind of work for experienced carers who value continuity of care. You’ll spend time learning what soothes each person, supporting daily routines, prompting activities that maintain skills and offering steady companionship. Many families in Basingstoke prefer a familiar face rather than frequent changes, so this role suits someone who’s patient, observant and happy to work at the client’s pace.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers who want more control. You set your own rates, choose clients, hours and the area you work in across Basingstoke and nearby towns such as Tadley, Hook, West Green, Alton, Fleet and Thatcham. We find clients for you and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments — and insurance is included while you’re working through the platform.

Typical pay for dementia care on PrimeCarers ranges from £19–£22 per hour, depending on the client and level of support needed. More detailed ranges you may see include £19–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates — use them only as a guide when setting your own rates.

• What you need to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references from previous care roles.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. We do not post single jobs here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Basingstoke and other parts of Hampshire. If you’re looking to move away from agency rotas, keep more of what you earn and build longer-term relationships with people, PrimeCarers makes that transition straightforward.
