Description

If you support people living with dementia and prefer the calm of familiar homes, PrimeCarers has ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Yardley Wood. Work with clients who benefit from patience, steady routines and a carer who values continuity of care. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Dementia care at home is about more than tasks: it’s companionship, reassurance, and helping someone keep the small rituals that matter. Typical shifts involve supporting personal care, preparing simple meals, prompting medication, encouraging meaningful activities, gently assisting with mobility and noticing changes that may need family or professional attention. Many families in Yardley Wood choose home support because it preserves dignity and memory through routine and familiar surroundings.

This kind of work suits carers who enjoy building relationships and who have at least a year of professional care experience. If you’re used to agency environments but want more control, being self‑employed on PrimeCarers lets you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area while continuing to work closely with people who need reassurance and predictability. Typical pay is within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the role and level of support required.

  • What PrimeCarers provides: we find family clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. We can also help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.
  • What you provide: kind, consistent care in a client’s home, good communication with families and professional references that confirm your experience.
  • Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Working in Yardley Wood and nearby areas like Warstock, Billesley, Highters Heath, Hall Green, Sarehole and Druids Heath means you’ll often support clients who prefer short, regular visits that fit into daily routines.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
