PrimeCarers connects you directly with families across Brindleyplace and the wider West Midlands, including nearby areas such as Five Ways, Ladywood, Cofton Common, Jewellery Quarter, Chinese Quarter and Birmingham City Centre. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the service area you cover. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical pay is £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support required and your experience.

This work suits experienced care workers who want more control than agency work usually offers. You’ll be a good fit if you can manage short-notice weekend bookings, enjoy one-to-one support, and value dealing directly with families while PrimeCarers handles the admin. Typical respite duties include:

• Personal care (washing, dressing, continence support)
• Meal preparation and supporting diet or medication regimes
• Short-term companionship, reassurance and mobility assistance
• Overnight or multi-day cover for family breaks

What PrimeCarers handles for you: we find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on bookings we introduce. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll remain self-employed and responsible for your own tax and National Insurance arrangements.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can start choosing weekend respite shifts across Brindleyplace and the surrounding West Midlands neighbourhoods, balancing work with other commitments.
