Typical hourly work falls into £18.50–£20 per hour, and when families need live-in or longer day cover the usual guidance is £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we introduce you to clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working through the platform. That means less paperwork and more time spent doing meaningful care in Druids Heath and nearby communities.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t list one-off jobs here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Druids Heath and the wider West Midlands.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and submit your DBS or start the DBS process with our guidance.
