Dementia Carer Jobs in New Milton

Support people living with dementia in their own homes around New Milton by bringing patience, routine and the small comforts that make a day familiar. You’ll help maintain independence through consistent daily rhythms, companionship, gentle prompts and practical help with personal care and household tasks. Working in clients’ homes keeps them where they feel safest and most themselves. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

A typical day can include prompting medication, supporting personal care, encouraging mealtimes, settling evening routines and simply being a calm, reassuring presence. You’ll work with families to keep things predictable: the same faces, similar mealtimes and familiar rooms. Most of the work is one-to-one, home-based support across New Milton and the surrounding area in Hampshire.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who value continuity over shift juggling. If you’re tired of hourly rushes from client to client with little chance to form relationships, these opportunities let you focus on quality care and building trust. Many carers move from agency work because they want steadier routines and the chance to shape how they deliver dementia care.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and the area you cover. Typical pay sits in the range £19–£22.50 per hour, with separate ranges for standard hourly care and live-in support: £19–£22.50 per hour and £147–£165 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you keep control of your availability and care style without having to manage the administrative side.

To join you need at least one 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 verify details quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be able to see client requests in and around New Milton and nearby towns like Highcliffe, Lymington, Christchurch, Ringwood, Lyndhurst and Ferndown before you accept anything.
