Description

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed dementia support carer working across Kings Norton and nearby neighbourhoods. You’ll help people with dementia remain safe, comfortable and familiar at home by supporting routines, offering patient companionship and assisting with daily tasks. Many carers who move away from agency work tell us they prefer the slower pace and deeper relationships possible when they can focus on continuity rather than shift churn.

Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically involves one-to-one, at-home support: reassurance during personal care, prompting medication or mealtimes, keeping to familiar routines, supporting calming activities and liaising sensitively with families. You’ll often work with the same person over weeks or months, so patience and consistency matter more than speed. Opportunities are available across Kings Norton and surrounding communities including Lifford, Cotteridge, Walkers Heath, Brandwood End, Bournville and Hawkesley, and elsewhere in the West Midlands.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose which clients to accept and decide your service area. You set your rate within local norms and see the market for dementia care pay — many carers expect rates around £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on caring.

We’re looking for experienced, calm carers who value continuity and person-centred practice. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We do not list one specific job here — this is an ongoing self-employed opportunity to connect with families in Kings Norton and the wider West Midlands.

  • Flexible hours: choose regular daytime visits, evenings or ad-hoc support that fits your diary.
  • Control and clarity: choose clients and set your own rates; contracts and invoices are handled for you.
  • Support: insurance is included while you work and PrimeCarers staff are on hand for matching and payment queries.
  • Fast to start: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re an experienced carer in Kings Norton who prefers working in people’s homes and building trusting relationships, PrimeCarers can help you connect with families that need steady, compassionate dementia support. Apply now to create your profile and start choosing the work that suits you.
