Description

Are you an experienced carer in Walkers Heath who wants to focus on supporting people living with dementia in their own homes? This is about patient, routine-led support that helps people keep familiar surroundings and daily rhythms. You can work with families across Walkers Heath and nearby communities such as Hawkesley, Kings Norton, Cotteridge, Lifford, Bournville and Brandwood End while staying based in the West Midlands.

Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These listings describe ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single placement. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Many people supporting dementia care prefer regular visits that build routine and familiarity — from prompting and companionship to personal care and supporting established daily patterns. Practical tasks, gentle prompts, meaningful conversation and safe mobility support are common elements, always delivered with patience and respect.

Pay and working patterns are flexible: you choose your charges and availability and can accept short visits, longer care calls or live-in days. Typical ranges are shown as £18.80–£20 per hour with more specific guidance available as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £148–£163.50 per day for live-in support. PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — plus insurance while you work — so you can focus on care.

This kind of role suits carers who have at least a year of professional care experience and who find satisfaction in continuity, relationship-based support and working alongside families to keep people at home. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise one-off shifts here but ongoing, self-employed opportunities across Walkers Heath and neighbouring areas of the West Midlands.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. After that you’ll be able to review client requests, agree terms directly, and accept the work that fits your life in Walkers Heath.

If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints and build a flexible, dignified way of working with people living with dementia in Walkers Heath, Hawkesley and beyond, PrimeCarers can connect you to families while handling the paperwork and payments so you can stay focused on care.
