Description

Support people with dementia to live well at home in West Bromwich and the surrounding parts of the West Midlands. You'll work with individuals and families who value patience, routine and familiar surroundings — keeping daily rhythms, prompting meals and medication, supporting personal care and offering calm companionship. These ongoing, self-employed roles are focused on relationship-based care delivered in clients' own homes.

Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically suits carers who prefer continuity: regular visits, consistent routines and getting to know one person's needs over weeks and months. You will help maintain familiar spaces, follow established routines and use steady, reassuring communication to reduce anxiety and confusion. Tasks can include assistance with washing and dressing, preparing simple meals, supporting mobility within the home, supervising mealtimes, companionship and reporting any changes to the family. This is not one advertised job but a stream of local opportunities across West Bromwich and nearby areas such as Ridgacre, Oldbury, Smethwick, Handsworth, Browns Green and Wednesbury.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates sit around £18.50–£20 per hour; many carers choose an hourly level within £18.50–£20 per hour or a live‑in day rate within £145–£160 per day depending on the support required and the family's needs. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help you arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have experience supporting people living with dementia, a calm approach and good observational skills, you'll fit well here. We welcome carers moving on from agency work who want more control over their hours and working relationships.

Getting started is quick: create a profile, upload your references and DBS, and let PrimeCarers match you with families looking for dementia support in West Bromwich and across the West Midlands. You set your own boundaries, accept the clients that suit you and manage your diary around life commitments. Apply in minutes and begin taking bookings once your profile is verified.
