These are regular, ongoing opportunities helping clients stay independent in their own homes across Whitehouse Common and the surrounding area. Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. You’ll choose which clients to accept, set your own hours and service area and set your own rates. Many carers who join PrimeCarers move from agency work because they value flexibility and direct relationships with families while keeping professional standards in the West Midlands.
Typical pay varies by carer and client; a common range for visiting care is £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support required and the hours agreed. PrimeCarers does the admin for you: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed, so you decide which calls to take and where to travel.
Day-to-day visiting care involves:
- Personal care – support with washing, dressing and mobility as agreed with each client.
- Meals and nutrition – preparing simple hot meals and helping with eating where needed.
- Medication prompts – assisting with reminders and safe administration as allowed by the client’s plan.
- Errands and companionship – shopping, collecting prescriptions and offering friendly, reliable company.
To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help you arrange this if you don’t already have one.
