Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in South Woodgate who want familiar, in‑home dementia support delivered with patience and routine. Many families prefer the stability of a regular carer who understands how to keep days calm and predictable. Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work supporting people living with dementia in their own homes across South Woodgate and nearby areas like Maypole, Bartley Green, Frankley, California, Quinton and Middle Quinton. Your role will focus on preserving routine, encouraging gentle activity, managing daily tasks sensitively, and helping families keep loved ones comfortable in familiar surroundings. This kind of work suits carers who value continuity, clear boundaries and the chance to build trusting relationships over time.
As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose who you work with, the hours you want and the area you serve. Typical rates for dementia care are £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a booking.
What to expect day‑to‑day: gentle personal care, supporting routines (mealtimes, medication reminders, familiar activities), monitoring wellbeing, companionship and liaising with families. You’ll work in people’s homes, respecting their preferences and helping keep days structured and reassuring. This is hands‑on, relational work that rewards patience, observational skill and calm communication.
To join you’ll 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 know many carers in the West Midlands are looking for a different way of working than traditional agencies — more control and clearer client relationships — and PrimeCarers is built for that.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll be free to respond to enquiries and accept bookings that fit your life in South Woodgate and the wider West Midlands.
If you’re ready to move away from agency paperwork and regain control of your time while continuing the compassionate, routine‑based dementia care you do best, PrimeCarers makes the admin easier so you can focus on people.
