Hourly Care Assistant Jobs in Highters Heath

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self-employed carers for hourly home care visits across Highters Heath. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and light errands — the steady, hands-on work many of you prefer to agency rotas. Carers set their own rates, choose their clients and control their hours and service area. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical daytime visits last from 30 minutes to a few hours and focus on helping someone remain independent where they feel safest. Tasks vary by client but commonly include personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), making meals, medication reminders, companionship and shopping or pharmacy runs. Much of this work is local to Highters Heath and nearby communities such as Druids Heath, Warstock, Yardley Wood, Brandwood End, Billesley and Kings Heath.

This role suits someone with at least one year’s professional care experience who wants more control than agency shifts allow. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you will:

• Set your own rates: you decide what to charge — typical rates are £18.50–£20 per hour — and can change them as you wish.
• Work the hours you want: accept daytime visits that suit your schedule.
• Keep things professional: PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re on a visit.
