Dementia Carer Jobs in Old Oscott

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical roles include companionship, assistance with morning and evening routines, prompting medication, supporting mealtimes and activities that preserve memory and identity. Many families in Old Oscott and nearby areas value carers who can offer steady routines and calm, reassuring presence in the home.

Pay is flexible and you set what you charge; typical rates for this kind of work are £18.80–£20 per hour. You decide whether you offer short visits, longer afternoon support or live-in days. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care not paperwork.

This work is ideal if you have at least a year of professional care experience and enjoy building meaningful relationships. You must have the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers leaving agency work who want more control over their time and who value continuity and personalised dementia support in the West Midlands and locally in Old Oscott.

Typical duties may include:

• Maintaining routine: Gentle prompts for daily tasks and familiar activities.
• Personal care: Support with washing, dressing and mealtimes where required.
• Emotional support: Calm companionship, reminiscence and reassurance.
• Safe environment: Observing wellbeing and reporting any changes to the family or care team.
