Dementia Carer Jobs in Southampton

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families looking for dementia support at home across Southampton and the surrounding parts of Hampshire, including quieter towns and suburban areas. You’ll be supporting people to stay comfortable and familiar at home, helping with routines, companionship, personal care and safe, patient approaches to memory loss. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves gentle, routine-led support: prompting and assisting with personal care, preparing simple meals, keeping to familiar daily rhythms, offering meaningful conversation and activity, and supporting families with handovers and care notes. Many families in Southampton ask for carers who favour kindness, consistency and calm over a clinical approach. You decide how much you take on and when.

Pay and flexibility are built around you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical ranges are shown below and on your profile. You can offer occasional visits, regular hourly shifts or live-in support depending on your availability and the client's needs. Typical ranges you might see include £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. Candidates who prefer set routines do well here; so do those who like to tailor support around one or two clients rather than many short calls.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You pick clients, hours and the service area you cover — whether that’s central Southampton or nearby towns such as Totton, Eastleigh, Hedge End, Romsey, Lyndhurst and Bishops Waltham. Many carers move from agency work to PrimeCarers because they want more control over pay and the relationships they build.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience (dementia experience valued)
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re a compassionate, reliable carer who prefers supporting people in their own homes and shaping your working life, registering with PrimeCarers is a simple next step to find regular dementia-care work around Southampton and elsewhere in Hampshire.
