Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Sparkhill who want trusted, patient support for people living with dementia at home. You’ll help keep routines and familiar surroundings in place, supporting tasks such as companionship, prompting daily routines, personal care, medication prompts and calm, reassuring company during the day or on regular short visits. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity for carers who value continuity of care and want to work with people in their own homes across Sparkhill and nearby areas like Showell Green, Sparkbrook, Tyseley, Moseley, Sarehole and Wake Green. You set your own service area, choose the clients you want to support and plan hours that fit your life. Many carers who switch from agency work enjoy the stability of supporting the same people over weeks and months while keeping the flexibility to manage their diary.

Pay is flexible because carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical roles for this kind of work fall in the range £18.80–£20 per hour depending on your experience and the level of support needed. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working, so you can focus on the care.

Who this suits: experienced carers who are calm, patient and comfortable building routines that help people living with dementia feel safe and recognised. You’ll be good at observational care, clear recording, and working with families to keep days predictable. You can expect to travel locally within Sparkhill and the wider West Midlands area to offer consistent, person-centred support.

What we need from you: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the legal right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed, so you manage how you work while PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions and the admin side.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once we verify you profiles typically go live within days. After that, PrimeCarers will introduce suitable families and you choose which introductions to accept. If you want to move away from shift-based agency work and focus on consistent dementia support in Sparkhill, this is a practical way to do it while keeping your independence.
