Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Petersfield

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed carer supporting people living with dementia in their own homes in Petersfield and the surrounding Hampshire towns. You’ll help people keep familiar routines, offer patient companionship and support practical tasks so they can stay safe and comfortable where they belong. You decide which families to work with, which hours to take and the area you cover; many carers prefer to build long-term, local relationships that suit both them and the person they support. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single role.

Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves: gentle personal care, prompting or helping with medication, supporting mealtimes, companionship and meaningful activity, following daily routines and observing changes in mood or health to feedback to families or professionals. Many families ask for carers who can keep the day predictable and calm — skills you already have if you’ve worked in dementia care.

Pay is set by you; typical ranges for this kind of work are £18.80–£21.50 per hour. You can offer standard hourly visits or longer companion shifts; typical hour-based and live-in guidance appears as £18.80–£21.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day so families know what to expect when they contact you.

PrimeCarers is designed for experienced carers who want control without the billing admin. We find clients, handle contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose the clients you accept. Many carers who’ve moved from agency work appreciate the autonomy and the clearer working relationship with families.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll also need to be comfortable working with people living with dementia and able to follow agreed care plans and routines.

Our opportunities cover Petersfield and nearby towns such as Coombe, Whitehill, Bordon, Midhurst, Waterlooville and Alton, making it straightforward to build a local diary that fits your life. Applying takes minutes and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days — ready for families to find you.

If you’re an experienced dementia carer in Petersfield or elsewhere in Hampshire looking for more control and respectful, home-based work, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a low-effort next step. Your experience matters; families need skilled, patient carers who value routine and familiarity.
