Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in West Heath who want gentle, routine-based support for people living with dementia at home. You’ll be working in familiar surroundings, helping clients remain independent through patience, consistent routines and meaningful companionship.
Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing, self-employed opportunities across West Heath and the surrounding area, including Turves Green, Northfield, Longbridge, Hawkesley, Walkers Heath and Rednal. The work suits carers who prefer building longer relationships with clients rather than short, fragmented shifts. Tasks commonly include medication prompts, meal support, companionship, personal care, mobility assistance and encouraging daily routines that reduce confusion and anxiety.
If you value continuity and calm, this role is for you. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area, so you retain control of your diary and work-life balance. Typical pay is in the range £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the care required and hours. You can work hourly or offer live-in support where appropriate.
PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
- Who we’re looking for: carers with at least 1 year of professional care experience who are comfortable supporting people living with dementia at home.
- Required to join: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.
- What we don’t offer: one-off shifts or a single advertised job — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities and support you to build your own client list.
Working in West Heath and the wider West Midlands area means you’ll meet families who want patient, routine-led care that keeps life familiar for their loved ones. Many clients value carers who can provide predictable, reassuring visits and build trust over weeks and months.
Ready to apply? It only takes minutes to create a profile. Upload references and a DBS, or ask us to help with the Enhanced DBS. Once your paperwork is verified, your profile can be visible to families in days — then you can start choosing the clients and hours that suit you in West Heath.
If you’re an experienced carer seeking more control, clearer hours and the chance to do dementia-focused work properly, join PrimeCarers and bring calm, routine and dignity to people’s homes in West Heath.
