What is a Private Carer?

A private carer is a professional care worker who provides a range of services such as personal support, companionship, and practical assistance, all tailored to suit the unique needs of each individual in their own homes. At Helping Hands, we’re proud to offer private care services that set us apart from care agencies. Unlike most agencies that generally provide carers on a third-party basis, all of our carers are directly employed by us. This ensures they’re fully vetted, expertly trained, and supported by their local Helping Hands branch. Our team providing home care in Birmingham offer fully regulated support, so you can have full peace of mind knowing that everything we do is overseen by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).

What Can a Private Carer Help With?

Private carers provide flexible support – ranging from practical tasks to more condition-related assistance – depending on your individual preferences and requirements. Whether you need help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, or more specialised live-in care in Birmingham, a private carer can make day-to-day life easier. They can assist with mobility, manage medication, and even run errands such as popping to the shops. Our approach is personalised, meaning your support plan can adapt over time as your needs change.
