Dementia Carer Jobs in Shirley

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Shirley who need calm, patient dementia support at home. If you prefer supporting people in familiar surroundings and helping keep routines steady, these ongoing self-employed opportunities let you work the way you want — choosing clients, hours and the area you cover. Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Working with people living with dementia in Shirley means helping with everyday routines, gentle prompting, companionship and practical support so clients can remain in their own homes for longer. You’ll bring patience, clear communication and consistent, reassuring approaches — small routines and familiar faces make a big difference. This role suits carers who have at least a year of professional care experience and who prefer one-to-one, relationship-based support over shift-driven agency rounds.

PrimeCarers helps you find clients across Shirley and nearby areas such as Hall Green, Solihull, Yardley Wood, Fox Hollies, Warstock and Sarehole. Carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients you accept. Typical rates for similar roles sit around £18.80–£20 per hour, with more details available on your profile and when you match with a family. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work on a booking.

To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have it), the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and at least 1 year of professional care experience. We verify documents and references quickly so your profile can usually go live within days. Applying takes minutes and the process is built for carers moving away from agency structures — more control, less admin.

What you won’t find here is a single advertised shift. These are ongoing, flexible opportunities across Shirley and the wider West Midlands for self-employed carers who want meaningful dementia work, predictable contact with the same families and the freedom to set their own hours. If you value continuity of care and want to work with dignity and respect, PrimeCarers makes the admin simple so you can focus on people.
