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

This role suits an experienced carer who prefers one‑to‑one time rather than personal care tasks. You’ll work with people who value company: listening, playing games, joining community activities, helping with light household tasks such as making drinks, or accompanying someone to a local club. Many carers who move from agency work to PrimeCarers appreciate the calmer, relationship‑led nature of companionship care in Deritend and the wider West Midlands.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own clients, hours and service area — typical pay is £18.80–£20 per hour — and you can decide how much companionship work you take on. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You choose which offers to accept so you keep control of your diary and commitments.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll need to show your experience and references when you apply; PrimeCarers supports the verification process so profiles typically go live within days of confirmation. Applying takes minutes and is designed for people already working in care who want a simpler, more flexible way to find clients.

Working in Deritend and nearby areas like Bordesley, Digbeth and Birmingham City Centre, you’ll meet people who want friendly, dependable company rather than clinical care.
