Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Waterlooville

Supporting people with dementia at home is about patience, routine and preserving familiar surroundings. In Waterlooville you’ll encourage independence through small daily routines, gentle prompts, companionship and consistent, person-centred care. Many families prefer familiar faces who understand the rhythms of someone living with dementia and want support that lets their loved one stay at home. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work — not one specific role. As a PrimeCarers carer you choose who you work for, the hours you take and the area you cover around Waterlooville and neighbouring towns such as Havant, Emsworth, Portchester, Coombe, Wickham and Fareham. You set your own rates and can expect typical roles in this area to fall within £18.80–£21 per hour; many carers advertise within the range £18.80–£21 per hour for hourly visits and £145–£160 per day for live-in days. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a client, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

The kind of support families ask for includes:

• Personal care with dignity and respect (washing, dressing, continence support where needed).
• Routine & structure—helping to keep mealtimes, medication prompts and daily routines consistent.
• Companionship and activity—reminiscence, simple activities, and calm companionship to reduce anxiety.
• Family liaison—clear notes after each visit so relatives know how the day went.

This work suits experienced carers who value continuity and relationship-based work. It’s a good move if you’re considering stepping away from agency rotas and want more control over your working life in Waterlooville and wider Hampshire. You’ll manage your diary, accept clients that match your skills, and keep the parts of care you enjoy most.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We also ask for proof of experience and references so families can feel safe inviting you into their home.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. If you’re ready to work differently in Waterlooville — keeping people living with dementia safe, calm and comfortable at home while setting your own terms — create a profile with PrimeCarers and start seeing suitable opportunities.
