Dementia Carer Jobs in Chichester

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Chichester and across West Sussex who want familiar, patient support for people living with dementia at home. These ongoing opportunities focus on preserving routine, encouraging small daily activities and offering calm companionship so clients can stay comfortable in their own surroundings.

Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work typically involves: gentle personal care, supporting daily routines, prompting medication, enabling safe mobility, using familiar cues and life story approaches, and working with relatives to keep things consistent. You’ll spend time building trust, keeping notes that help continuity of care, and creating small, meaningful moments that reduce anxiety and confusion.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who value patience, routine and continuity. Many people on PrimeCarers are looking to move away from agency models and prefer choosing who they work with, when and where. Carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and your service area around Chichester and nearby towns such as Woodgate, Bognor Regis, Emsworth, Selsey, Havant and Arundel.

Pay and flexibility: Rates vary by client and shift type; typical roles fall within £18.80–£21 per hour. You decide which jobs fit your schedule and how much time to commit, whether short visits or longer support.

PrimeCarers support: We find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

What we ask for:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, including dementia care.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need one.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and PrimeCarers verifies the details — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and accept the work that suits you.
