Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced self-employed carers to support people living with dementia at home in Wells Green and the surrounding area. You’ll help maintain routine, familiar surroundings and calm for clients who benefit from patient, consistent care. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work focuses on supporting people with memory loss in their own homes — practical help with personal care, medication prompts, mealtime support, companionship, mobility assistance and following routines that reduce confusion. Much of the role is about listening, noticing small changes and keeping days predictable. These opportunities are ongoing self-employed roles across Wells Green and nearby areas so you can build trusting relationships rather than short-term visits.
This is a good fit if you have at least one year of professional care experience, genuine patience for working with people living with dementia, and a desire to work with predictable routines rather than shift-led agency patterns. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one.
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You choose the clients, hours and the service area you cover — many carers in Wells Green pick nearby calls around Sheldon, Gilbertstone, South Yardley, Lyndon Green, Kents Moat and Fox Hollies. Typical rates for dementia support roles sit within £18.50–£20 per hour; you can also view £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day work when setting your profile.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re working with a client booked through the platform. If you’re used to agency admin and want to keep the core support work while taking control of who you work for, this could suit you well in the West Midlands.
Applying takes minutes — create a profile, add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers verifies your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review client requests and accept the ones that fit your availability. We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities in Wells Green rather than a single role, so you remain in control of your diary and the type of dementia support you provide.
If you want consistent home-based dementia work in Wells Green with flexibility, respect for your skills and help with the paperwork, join PrimeCarers and start choosing the care you deliver.
