Description
Work with PrimeCarers as a self-employed carer supporting people living with dementia at home in Ladywood. You’ll focus on patience, routine and familiar surroundings to help people stay in the place they know best. You choose the clients and hours that suit you while keeping continuity and calm for the people you support. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Dementia support work here is about practical help and companionship: prompting routines, supporting personal care with dignity, encouraging familiar activities and using gentle communication to reduce distress. Shifts vary — short visits, longer personal care sessions or live-in support — and are matched to your experience and preferences. Many carers who move from agency work find this role suits those who prefer consistency, quieter one-to-one work and building relationships over time in Ladywood and surrounding streets.
