Description

Support people living with dementia in their own homes in Wake Green, helping maintain routine, familiar surroundings and dignity. You’ll work with clients who benefit from patience, consistent approaches and small adaptations that make daily life easier. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose which families you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover around Wake Green and nearby neighbourhoods. Typical roles include companionship, supporting personal care, prompting medication and encouraging familiar routines to reduce confusion and anxiety. Many clients need someone who can calmly follow a schedule, use simple memory aids and keep conversations grounded in what’s familiar.

If you’re considering leaving agency work, this role suits experienced carers who value continuity of care and want to build trusting relationships with people living with dementia across Wake Green and the West Midlands. You set your own rates and availability — typical rates on the platform are £18.80–£20 per hour — and you can accept short visits, regular calls or longer live-in patterns if you and the family agree.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We cover insurance while you’re working with a PrimeCarers client, and we handle contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Working through PrimeCarers means fewer rota surprises and more say over how you work. You remain self-employed, set your own boundaries and choose clients who match your approach to dementia care. You’ll also find roles near Moseley, Kings Heath, Showell Green, Balsall Heath, Moor Green and Sparkhill and other local areas.

To apply, create a profile, upload your documents and tell us about your dementia experience. The platform guides you through DBS and reference checks if needed, and our team can answer any questions about working self-employed in the West Midlands. If you want reliable, meaningful dementia care work from Wake Green, PrimeCarers connects you with families while taking care of the paperwork.
