Description

Working with people living with dementia in their own homes in Gosport means offering patience, steady routine and familiar surroundings. If you enjoy building trusting relationships and helping someone stay comfortable and connected at home, these self‑employed opportunities could suit you.

Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical tasks include supporting daily routines, personal care, prompting medication where needed, companionship, mealtime support and simple activity planning that keeps days familiar and calm. You’ll often work with the same person, which suits carers who prefer continuity and relationship‑centred care rather than shift‑by‑shift changes. Many carers we work with have moved away from agency rota pressure to focus on consistent, dignified dementia support in Gosport and nearby areas including Southsea, Lee on the Solent, Portchester, Ryde, Fareham and Havant.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates (typical range £18.80–£21 per hour) and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work. That means less admin and more time providing steady, familiar care in the home.

These roles suit experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who value patience, clear communication and predictable routines. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We ask for straightforward checks because trusts and continuity matter most when you’re supporting someone with dementia in their own home in Hampshire.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload or request checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there families contact you directly about ongoing self‑employed care arrangements; you remain in control of your work, rates and availability.

If you’re a caring, experienced carer in Gosport who prefers one‑to‑one, routine‑focused work and likes the idea of setting your own terms, join PrimeCarers to find local dementia care opportunities. You’ll keep the rewards of meaningful home‑based support while PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can concentrate on what matters — excellent care in Gosport.
