Description

Join PrimeCarers to offer dementia support to people choosing to stay at home in Hawkesley. This listing is for ongoing self-employed opportunities supporting clients who benefit from patience, familiar routines and continuity of care. You’ll help people live with dignity in their own homes, often building long-term, trusted relationships with the same families. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work is calm, relationship-focused and practical. Typical duties include helping maintain daily routines, prompting medication, supporting mealtimes, encouraging activity, offering companionship and observing changes to wellbeing. You’ll often work in familiar surroundings that help reduce anxiety and confusion, and you’ll bring steadiness and respect to each visit. Rates typically sit at around £18.50–£20 per hour for this kind of dementia support work.

This type of role suits experienced carers who prefer predictable routines, slow-paced visits and the chance to get to know the same people over time. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value being able to choose who they support, and to arrange hours that fit family life or other commitments. You can work across Hawkesley and nearby areas such as Walkers Heath, Kings Norton, West Heath, Cotteridge, Northfield and Lifford, and elsewhere in the West Midlands if you choose.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding families, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you are working on assignments. You set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days after verification.

  • Minimum requirements: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and two verifiable references.
  • Practical notes: you remain self-employed, so you manage tax and occasional administration. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts and payment processing while you focus on care.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload your references and DBS (or request one via PrimeCarers), and choose the areas and types of care you want to offer. Most applicants find the sign-up fast and straightforward; once verified your profile will usually be visible to local families within days. If you’re an experienced carer in Hawkesley who wants to specialise in dementia support while keeping control of your hours and rates, we’d love to hear from you.

If you prefer steady, meaningful work in clients’ homes and value continuity of care, this could be the change you’re looking for in Hawkesley and the wider West Midlands. Apply now and start choosing the work that fits your life.
