Description

Are you an experienced carer based in Handsworth looking for daytime visiting work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families for hourly home care visits across Handsworth and the wider West Midlands. Typical tasks include personal care, supporting with meals, prompting or administering medication, companionship and short errands to help clients remain independent in their own homes. You choose who you work with, when you work and the area you cover.

Right now, 20 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. You’ll often meet families who need regular daytime visits of an hour or two, or block bookings across mornings and afternoons. Many carers split their time between Handsworth neighbourhoods and nearby areas such as Browns Green, Gib Heath, Handsworth Wood, Winson Green, Lozells and Birchfield. You’ll be visiting people in their own homes and supporting routines that matter: getting up and washed, dressing, meal preparation, medication prompts and short trips to shops or local appointments.

Pay is set by you — PrimeCarers shows typical ranges so families know what to expect and you stay in control. Typical rates for these roles are £18.80–£20 per hour (we also display typical hourly and live-in day ranges such as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160.50 per day where relevant). PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

This work suits experienced, reliable people who want flexibility: former agency carers, domiciliary workers and support workers who prefer being self-employed and choosing their shifts. To join you need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t invent roles or promise specific income — we list ongoing opportunities and help match you to families looking for support.

Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is straightforward. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which families can view your profile and invite you to interviews. PrimeCarers will handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and the insurance provided while you work covers approved shifts arranged through the platform.

If you want hands-on daytime visiting care in Handsworth, with control over your hours and the clients you accept, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step. Many carers find this a more flexible, local way to use their skills across Handsworth and the West Midlands while staying in control of their work-life balance.
