Description

PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families in Wells Green looking for companionship, conversation and light help around the home. The role is centred on building trusting, sociable relationships: friendly visits, outings, supporting hobbies, a reassuring presence and simple household tasks. These ongoing opportunities suit carers who prefer company‑focused care rather than intensive personal care. Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work in and around Wells Green and the wider West Midlands on terms that suit you. Carers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area they work in; typical rates for this kind of role are £18.50–£20 per hour. Many carers come to PrimeCarers after agency work because they want more control over shifts, nearer‑home clients and the freedom to focus on companionship and wellbeing. You’ll often be working close to familiar places including Sheldon, Gilbertstone, South Yardley, Lyndon Green, Kents Moat and Fox Hollies.

PrimeCarers takes care of the admin so you can focus on caring. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and take payments on your behalf. Insurance is included while you work with a client through the platform. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self‑employed at all times: you set your rates, accept the jobs you want and manage your diary. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single post, so you can build a client list that suits your availability and interests.

If you’re based in Wells Green and want companionship work that values your time and skills, create a profile and start matching with families. The application takes minutes and, once verified, your profile will usually be visible within days — ready for you to start choosing who you support.
