Job Description: Domiciliary Care Worker in Birmingham
Carer Agency is seeking dedicated and empathetic Domiciliary Care Workers to provide vital support to elderly, disabled, and vulnerable clients within their own homes in the Birmingham B40 postcode area. This role is fundamental to enabling individuals to live independently and with dignity in their community.

Whether you're looking for your first step into care or are an experienced worker, we offer a structured pathway and ongoing support.

Personal Care & Wellbeing Support
Assist clients with personal hygiene, washing, dressing, and toileting, respecting their dignity and independence at all times. Support with medication prompts and management as per care plans. Monitor and report on clients' physical and emotional wellbeing.
Domestic Tasks & Meal Preparation
Perform light household duties to maintain a safe and clean living environment, including laundry, ironing, changing bed linens, and light cleaning. Plan and prepare nutritious meals and snacks, considering dietary requirements and client preferences. Assist with feeding if required.
Companionship & Social Support
Provide emotional support and companionship, engaging in conversation, reading, or participating in hobbies. Support clients to maintain social connections and access community activities. Accompany clients on appointments or shopping trips as needed.
Administration & Communication
Maintain accurate and timely electronic or paper records of care provided. Communicate effectively with the care management team, family members, and healthcare professionals regarding any changes or concerns in a client's condition. Adhere strictly to all risk assessments and care plans.

Secure Your Interview Today →Frequently Asked Questions
A Domiciliary Care Worker (also known as a Home Care Worker or Care Assistant) provides essential personal and practical support to people in their own homes, enabling them to live as independently as possible. In the B40 area, your day would involve visiting multiple clients, assisting with personal care (washing, dressing), medication, meal preparation, light housework, and providing vital companionship. It's a mobile role requiring travel between client homes, distinct from static roles like an Order Picker in a warehouse.
Yes, absolutely. While experience is beneficial, a genuine passion for helping others and the right attitude are often more important. Many successful care workers come from varied backgrounds, including retail, hospitality, or from caring for a family member. We provide comprehensive training and induction to equip you with the necessary skills. We assess transferable skills like communication, reliability, and empathy – the same core attributes we value when placing a Warehouse Safety Coordinator or any other professional.
Domiciliary care in B40 operates 365 days a year, offering immense flexibility. Common shifts include early mornings (7am-2pm), late afternoons/evenings (3pm-10pm), and some night visits. Weekend work is available and often pays enhanced rates. You can discuss your availability with your consultant – whether you want full-time hours, part-time around school hours, or ad-hoc weekend work. This level of flexibility is a key advantage over many traditional 9-5 roles or fixed-site jobs like Construction Site Cleaner positions.
You are paid an hourly rate (as advertised) for all time spent providing care to clients. Pay is processed weekly. Travel time between client appointments and mileage is typically paid at an agreed rate, which will be clearly outlined in your assignment details before you start. All pay-related queries are handled directly by our central payroll team, ensuring accuracy and timeliness. For a deeper look at pay structures in flexible work, see our video "How Much I Earn as a Temp Agency Worker vs Direct Hire".
Definitely. Domiciliary care is a fantastic entry point into the vast healthcare sector. With experience, you could progress to a Senior Care Worker, a Field Care Supervisor, or train to become a Medication Assistant. Many care workers also undertake NVQ/QCF qualifications in Health and Social Care, funded or supported by employers. Carer Agency actively promotes internal opportunities and temp-to-perm placements. Your journey could lead to specialised care, management, or even recruitment roles within our own recruitment division.
