Description

Support people with dementia to stay at home, in familiar rooms and routines. In Brownhills you’ll work with individuals and families who value patience, calm company and consistent, thoughtful care. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities to provide dementia support in people’s own homes. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families across Brownhills and surrounding areas. You set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep the control that many carers miss after agency life. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers who join from nearby towns such as Pelsall, High Heath, Burntwood, Aldridge, Coal Pool and Bloxwich find the balance and stability they were looking for.

The work focuses on supporting people living with dementia at home. Typical tasks include maintaining familiar routines, supporting personal care with dignity, prompting meals and medication, meaningful companionship, and working with families to reduce distress and disorientation. Professional experience, good observational skills and a patient, respectful manner are what make this role rewarding. You’ll often be asked to support the same person over weeks and months, building trust and continuity.

Pay and flexibility: As a self‑employed carer you set your own rate within local norms (£18.50–£20 per hour). You also decide whether to do short calls, regular hourly support or longer shifts. PrimeCarers helps with secure payments and clear invoices so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. If you already have an Enhanced DBS and references ready, applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If not, we’ll guide you through the checks.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who want to move away from agency rota pressures and regain control over who they support, when and where. If you live in Brownhills or nearby in the West Midlands and prefer patient, routine‑focused dementia care at home, this platform is built for you.

How to apply: Create a profile, add your experience and references, and complete the verification steps. Once verified, PrimeCarers will introduce you to families looking for dementia care in Brownhills and the wider West Midlands. Applications are quick and straightforward — start in minutes and be ready to accept clients within days.
