Description

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform connecting self-employed private carers with families in Lozells and the surrounding area. These are daytime, hourly home care roles — short visits to support people in their own homes with personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and light errands. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients and hours you accept, and work within the area you prefer.

Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work often suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency routines. You’ll be visiting clients in their homes across Lozells, and commonly in nearby neighbourhoods such as Birchfield, Gib Heath, Handsworth Wood, New Town Row, Aston and Jewellery Quarter. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour, letting you decide the value of your time while keeping the flexibility to fit work around life in the West Midlands.

PrimeCarers finds local clients for you and takes care of the admin: we handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re on a paid visit. That means you keep the independence of self-employment without carrying all the paperwork on your own.

The kind of support you’ll provide includes:

  • Personal care such as washing, dressing and continence support where needed.
  • Assisting with meals, drinks and basic food prep.
  • Medication prompts and simple daily checks to keep people safe at home.
  • Errands and companionship-focused visits that help clients stay independent.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We do not present this as a single role; instead we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Lozells and nearby communities.

Applying takes minutes. You complete a short profile, submit your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain free to set your hours, service area and hourly rates, and to accept only the clients you want to work with.

If you’re based in Lozells and ready for a more flexible way of working in care, PrimeCarers can introduce you to local families while supporting the admin side so you can focus on care.
