Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Aldridge and nearby areas, not a single advertised role. Hourly home care on PrimeCarers typically covers daytime visits ranging from brief check-ins to longer personal-care calls. Many carers support people who prefer to stay in their own homes, helping with washing, dressing, continence care when needed, preparing meals, prompting or administering medication and running errands or accompanying to appointments.

Working through PrimeCarers suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. You’ll be able to pick the clients and hours that fit your life in Aldridge and the wider West Midlands, and to set your own rate within the market. Typical pay for these roles is £18.80–£20 per hour which you set yourself when you list your profile.

Typical tasks include:

• Personal care: washing, dressing, continence support and mobility assistance.
• Meals and nutrition: preparing meals, supporting eating and special diets.
• Medication: prompting or assisting with agreed medicines and record-keeping.
• Errands and companionship: shopping, appointments, social calls and light domestic help.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify these quickly so your profile can go live within days after submission.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families in Aldridge and nearby areas such as High Heath, Coal Pool, Brownhills, Pelsall, Hill Hook and Walsall, manage the contract and payment flow, and include insurance cover while you’re working on a placement sourced through the platform.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload references and your DBS, choose the hours and local area you’ll cover, and set your rates. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you remain free to accept or decline any client introduced to you.
