Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families looking for daytime, hourly home care in Kingstanding. Visits typically cover personal care, help with meals, medication prompts and short errands — the kind of practical, respectful support that helps people stay safe at home.
Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
If you live or work in Kingstanding and want to move away from agency shifts, this is set up for people who value flexibility and control. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. Many carers prefer daytime visits of a few hours: morning personal care, mealtime assistance and medication checks are common. You set your own rates — typical pay is £18.50–£20 per hour — and you negotiate directly with families.
PrimeCarers supports the arrangement: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you keep the freedom of being self-employed while getting help with the admin side of caring.
Who this suits: experienced carers who want predictable daytime work, cleaner handovers and more control over the work-life balance. If you are used to providing personal care, supporting mealtimes, prompting medication and running small errands, you’ll fit the role quickly. This is a good fit for carers based in Kingstanding and nearby communities such as New Oscott, Old Oscott, Queslett, Perry Common, Perry Beeches and Boldmere who want to work across the local area in the West Midlands.
Requirements to join are practical and straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need to be able to manage your own tax and NI responsibilities as a self-employed carer.
Applying takes minutes. Complete a profile, upload checks and references, and our team will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then families in Kingstanding and across the West Midlands can contact you to arrange visits. There is no single advertised role here — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities so you can pick the work that fits your life.
