These ongoing roles suit experienced carers who prefer building relationships rather than rotating through unfamiliar shifts. Many local families in Perry Barr, and nearby areas such as Handsworth Wood, Birchfield, Witton, Lozells, Browns Green and Perry Beeches, want continuity and calm — exactly what good dementia care provides.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical pay falls in the range £18.50–£20 per hour; you can list an hourly preference like £18.50–£20 per hour or a live‑in day rate such as £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you work — so you can focus on care and building trust.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. If you’re moving away from agency life you’ll appreciate keeping your professional autonomy while PrimeCarers manages the paperwork and client introductions.
