Description

Support people living with dementia at home in Eastleigh, working with patience, routine and familiar surroundings. These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit carers who value continuity of care and want to work closely with families to keep someone independent and comfortable in their own home.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical visits include companionship, supporting daily routines, reminding and assisting with personal care and medication prompts, helping with light household tasks and keeping the day predictable and calm. You’ll work one-to-one or with the same family over time so you can build trust and adapt approaches to what makes each person feel safe. This is specialist care rooted in respect for memories, habits and small rituals that matter.

This work is based across Eastleigh and surrounding Hampshire areas, often near Hedge End, Romsey, Totton, Bishops Waltham, Winchester and Wickham. If you prefer local work close to home, you choose the service area you cover. Many carers on PrimeCarers decide to focus on a few nearby families so schedules are consistent and travel is manageable.

As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose the clients and hours that suit you. PrimeCarers helps by finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work. Many carers find this mix gives them the freedom of independent work without the admin that usually comes with it. Typical pay expectations are in the region of £18.80–£21 per hour depending on the needs of the person you support and the hours you take on.

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 documentation and references quickly so profiles typically go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes and you remain in control throughout.

This page advertises ongoing roles across Eastleigh — not a single assignment. If you’re thinking about moving away from agency work, PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want more say over who they work with and when, while keeping the security of client finding, contracts and insurance in place. You’ll be supported to build long-term relationships with families and provide the consistent, patient care people with dementia need.
