PrimeCarers is an introductory platform connecting self-employed carers directly with families across Old Oscott and nearby Queslett, Kingstanding, Perry Beeches, New Oscott, Great Barr and Perry Common. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical roles on PrimeCarers sit in the range £18.50–£20 per hour; you decide your rate when you accept a booking. PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

What the work looks like

• Short blocks of respite care — sitting, companionship, personal care and support around the home for a few hours or several days.
• Weekend cover — people who need regular Saturday/Sunday support or occasional weekend stays so family carers can rest or travel.
• Flexible duties — medication prompting, personal care, light domestic support and meaningful companionship tailored to each family.

Who this suits

This is for experienced carers who want the freedom to step away from agency rotas and choose the work they take. If you have at least a year of professional care experience, can provide verifiable references and have the right to work in the UK, you’ll meet the core requirements. An Enhanced DBS check is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need support.

How it works

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, provide your experience and references, and complete verification — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can set your availability, accept weekend bookings in Old Oscott and the surrounding towns, and manage each job on your own terms while PrimeCarers handles the paperwork and payments.
