That administrative support means you can focus on the care itself and the difference you make for family carers in Reddicap Heath and nearby communities such as Falcon Lodge, Thimble End, Whitehouse Common, Sutton Coldfield, Maney and Driffold.

What the role usually involves:

• Short visits: companionship, personal care, meal support and medication prompts.
• Weekend cover: daytime and evening shifts so family carers can rest or plan short breaks.
• Short live-in stays: providing continuity of care for a few nights when families need longer relief.

This work suits skilled carers with at least one year’s professional care experience who want to build relationships without agency-imposed schedules. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one.
