Description
Looking for flexible hourly home care work in Balsall Heath? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with local families for daytime visits to help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands. You choose the clients, hours and service area while we handle client-finding, contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing opportunity for experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency roles. Work suits people used to doing personal care in people’s homes and who can bring at least a year of professional care experience. Typical pay reflects the responsibility and flexibility of the role: many carers set their own hourly rates (see typical ranges such as £18.80–£20 per hour), and live-in day work is typically in the range £148–£163.50 per day. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose the clients you accept in Balsall Heath and nearby areas such as Moseley, Sparkbrook, Showell Green, Wake Green, Sparkhill and Edgbaston.
What PrimeCarers does for you:
- Finds clients and introductions in Balsall Heath and the surrounding West Midlands area.
- Handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.
- Provides insurance cover while you work with a client found through the platform.
Who this suits: experienced, compassionate carers who want daytime, hourly work and greater control over work-life balance. If you’re used to agency routines but would prefer to decide which assignments to take and when, this could be a good fit.
Requirements to join include at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You remain self-employed and set your own rates.
