Dementia Support Carer Jobs in Smethwick

Support people living with dementia in their own homes across Smethwick and the surrounding West Midlands communities. PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers directly with families who want compassionate, routine-led care that keeps people settled in familiar surroundings. Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a dementia support carer on PrimeCarers you'll work with people who benefit from patience, consistency and small, meaningful routines — reminding about meals, supporting with personal care, encouraging activity that suits memory and ability, and helping families plan days so the person stays calm and engaged. This role suits carers who prefer one-to-one relationships, a slower pace, and the chance to build trust over weeks and months rather than hourly task lists.

Choose the hours and clients that fit your life. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and service area, and you pick the families you want to work with. Typical rates for roles like this are around £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work. Many carers who move from agency work say they value the continuity, clearer rotas and stronger relationships with people they support.

Opportunities regularly appear across Smethwick and nearby towns such as Winson Green, Beech Lanes, Handsworth, Gib Heath, Ladywood and West Bromwich. You might support morning routines, afternoon companionship, evening settling or longer live-in arrangements where appropriate. Hours are flexible and chosen by you — full days, regular short visits or a few longer shifts each week can all be arranged.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don't invent client needs or promise specific earnings, but we do make the admin straightforward: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload ID and references, confirm your checks and set your availability. Once verified you can start choosing clients in Smethwick and across the West Midlands right away. If you want to discuss what dementia support looks like in the area, or how to set your rates, our team is here to help — but the choice of who you work for and when always stays with you.

If you value patient, relationship-based care and want to work directly with families while keeping control of your working life, PrimeCarers in Smethwick could be the next step in your care career.
