Description
PrimeCarers is recruiting self-employed carers in Stirchley to support people living with dementia who want to stay at home. You’ll focus on keeping routines familiar, offering gentle prompting, companionship and practical help with daily life so clients can stay in the surroundings they know best. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing opportunity for experienced carers across Stirchley and nearby neighbourhoods such as Lifford, Bournville, Cotteridge, Moor Green, Selly Park and Brandwood End. Work is flexible: carers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit them. Typical roles for this work fall in the range £18.50–£20 per hour; you can set your individual hourly or live‑in rates within that market range (see £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates).
What the role involves:
- Person‑centred support: helping with routines, meals, personal care and meaningful activities tailored to each person’s history and preferences.
- Reassurance and companionship: using patience and familiarity to reduce anxiety and support everyday decisions.
- Practical tasks: light domestic help, medication reminders and communicating changes to families or healthcare professionals where needed.
This kind of work suits carers who value continuity of care and who prefer one‑to‑one relationships rather than shift‑by‑shift agency patterns. If you’re used to building trust slowly, adapting routines and bringing calm to a busy household, Stirchley families will welcome your experience.
How PrimeCarers supports you: carers on the platform are self‑employed — you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area, and PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work through the platform.
Requirements to join are clear and fair: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and focus on consistent, dementia‑aware home support in Stirchley and the wider West Midlands, create your profile today and start choosing the work that fits your life and skills.
