Dementia Carer Jobs in Sparkbrook

Work with families supporting people living with dementia in Sparkbrook and nearby communities. These ongoing self-employed opportunities let you focus on patient, routine-led care that keeps people comfortable at home — the kind of continuity dementia care needs. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a carer on PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers moving away from agency rotas find this approach suits experienced dementia carers who value predictable routines and familiar surroundings.

Typical roles involve supporting people with memory loss at home: maintaining daily routines, prompting and assisting with personal care, medication prompts, companionship, gentle activity, and working with families to keep familiar objects and rhythms in place. You’ll visit homes across Sparkbrook and the surrounding patch including Showell Green, Balsall Heath, Sparkhill, Bordesley, Deritend and Moseley. Work may be short visits, regular daily checks or longer live-in support — rates often sit around £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the care needed and the hours. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively.

This kind of care suits someone with patience, clear communication and a calm, routine-minded approach. You should have empathy for people living with dementia, know how to de-escalate distress, and be confident supporting families through changes. Many carers tell us they prefer being able to build relationships with a small number of clients rather than constant rota changes.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience, ideally including dementia care
• Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references
• Work as a self-employed carer and manage your diary and tax responsibilities

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is live, you can choose which local families to accept and which visits to take — giving you more control over your work in Sparkbrook and across the West Midlands. If you’re an experienced carer seeking a more predictable, relationship-led way of working, setting up a PrimeCarers profile could be the next step.
