Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control, this is designed for you. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area, and can expect typical pay of £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly home care. Day-to-day visits usually involve helping with washing and dressing, support with continence, preparing light meals, prompting or administering medication where appropriate, and supporting errands such as shopping or attending appointments.

You’ll meet people across Erdington and neighbouring communities — including Stockland Green, Gravelly Hill, Birches Green, Bromford, Perry Common and Tyburn — and can focus on morning or afternoon rounds depending on what fits your life. Many carers choose to work regular daytime visits only, while others combine blocks of hourly visits across the week. Typical hourly-care rates are shown as £18.80–£20 per hour.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can concentrate on care. We find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working through the platform. You remain self-employed, set your own boundaries and accept the jobs you want. We also support verification checks and can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You won’t be asked to commit to a fixed rota: you pick the hours you want and the local area you serve within Erdington and the wider West Midlands.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and accept visits that suit you. If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and take greater control of your hours and clients in Erdington, creating a profile is the first step.
