Private Carer Jobs in Great Barr

Looking for daytime, hourly home care work around Great Barr? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers with local families who need help with personal care, meals, medication prompts and errands in clients' own homes. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical daytime visits are hourly or short-block calls, focused on practical and personal support: helping someone get up and dressed, assisting with washing or toileting, preparing lunch, prompting or administering medication, shopping and collecting prescriptions, and accompanying people to appointments. These visits are usually in the community and take place in people's own homes across Great Barr and neighbouring areas such as Perry Beeches, Queslett, Old Oscott, Browns Green, Kingstanding and Handsworth.

This role suits experienced carers who want flexibility and control. If you’re used to agency routines but want to set your own pace, hourly home care lets you pick shifts that fit around family life or other work. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and keep control over availability and travel distance. Many set rates within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on experience and duties.

What you’ll need to join:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers handles the administration so you can focus on caring: we find clients, manage contracts, issue invoices and process payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. You remain self-employed and in control of decisions about your work, from rates to clients and service area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re based in Great Barr, Birmingham or elsewhere in the West Midlands and want a clearer, fairer way to manage your own home care work, this could be the change you’re looking for. You’ll be joining other experienced carers who value direct relationships with families, reliable admin support and the freedom to work the way you prefer.
