Dementia Carer Jobs in Hove

These are ongoing, home-based caregiving opportunities that let you keep people in familiar surroundings while you bring kindness, reassurance and consistency to daily life. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically includes supporting established routines, medication prompts, companionship, gentle personal care, encouragement with meals and mobility, and using calming approaches for distress or confusion. Many families ask for carers who understand pacing, memory prompts and how to keep activities meaningful. You’ll often work in the client’s own home across Hove and the surrounding area including Brighton, Southwick, Shoreham by Sea, Telscombe, Peacehaven and Steyning.

This platform is built for people who prefer independence to agency rosters. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You choose your clients, hours and service area; PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Typical pay sits around £19–£21.20 per hour for this kind of care, with both hourly and live-in patterns available depending on the family’s needs.

To join we ask that you have at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We check these quickly so your profile can be visible to families without lengthy delays. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This is not a single job listing but an open call for experienced dementia carers across Hove and Brighton and Hove who want to work with dignity, build trusting relationships, and keep people living at home where possible.
