Description

If you already support people living with dementia and want more control over your work, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Winson Green and the wider West Midlands. You’ll help clients remain at home, using patience, routine and familiar surroundings to reduce distress and preserve independence. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work involves: visiting people in their homes to provide dementia-focused care and companionship, helping with daily routines, prompting medication and meals, supporting safe mobility, and using calming, consistent approaches when behaviours change. Work with families to keep familiar cues and routines in place, encourage meaningful activity, and reduce unnecessary moves — all centred on dignity and respect in the home.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who prefer one-to-one relationships over shift-driven agency rounds. If you have at least 1 year of professional care experience, a calm, patient manner, and practical skills for supporting someone with cognitive change, this role could fit. Many carers who join us want to move away from rigid rotas while still delivering high-quality dementia support in Winson Green and nearby areas like Gib Heath, Ladywood, Lozells, Jewellery Quarter, Smethwick and Handsworth.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Typical earnings sit around £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support required and times you choose to work. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Minimum requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one). We check references and documents to protect both carers and families; once verified, profiles typically go live within days.

How joining works: create a short profile describing your dementia experience, availability and the neighbourhoods you cover in Winson Green. Choose the clients and hours that suit you, and manage bookings directly. Applying takes minutes, and PrimeCarers supports the administrative side so you can concentrate on safe, person-centred care in clients’ homes across Winson Green and the surrounding West Midlands communities.

If you’re ready to give calmer, more consistent support to people with dementia while keeping the freedom to work how you want, sign up and start connecting with families who value experienced, compassionate carers.
