Description

Are you an experienced carer who prefers the continuity and calm of supporting people with dementia at home? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Selly Oak who want patient, routine-led support that keeps people living in familiar surroundings. You’ll help with day-to-day routines, companionship, prompts for memory, safe activity, and gentle support around washing, dressing and medication reminders — all focused on preserving dignity and comfort.

Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work across Selly Oak and nearby areas. You set your own hours, service area and rates, so many carers move from agency schedules to more predictable routines that suit both them and the person they support. Typical pay is in the range £18.50–£20 per hour and you can advertise either hourly care or live-in support using £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day as guidance. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and offers insurance cover while you are working with a client.

This role suits carers who prefer building trusting relationships over time, who are calm with changes in mood or memory, and who structure days around simple, familiar routines. You’ll often work in family homes across Selly Oak, and in neighbouring communities like Bournbrook, Selly Park, Weoley Hill, Bournville, Stirchley and Moor Green — travel distances are chosen by you as part of the area you offer.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. You remain self-employed: you choose clients, set your rates and pick the hours you’ll accept. PrimeCarers takes care of the paperwork so you can focus on care.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification your profile typically goes live within days. Once live you can review client requests and accept the ones that fit your skills, availability and travel preferences in Selly Oak and the West Midlands.
