Description

Provide compassionate waking or sleeping night support to people in their own homes across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. As an overnight carer you'll help families get the rest they need by being there through the night — assisting with personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, light household tasks and companionship as agreed with each client. You can work regular nights or pick up occasional bookings that fit your life; this listing advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not a single post.

Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who value autonomy. On PrimeCarers you’re self‑employed, set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for overnight care fall in £17–£17.89 per hour and you decide what you charge within that range. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

We have opportunities across Birmingham, including around Gun Quarter, Gosta Green, New Town Row, Duddeston, Birmingham City Centre and Cofton Common, and the platform supports work across the West Midlands. You must already have at least one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify documentation quickly so applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Overnight roles vary. Some clients require a waking night throughout; others need a sleeping night with checks and short interventions. Your profile lets you state whether you do waking nights, sleeping nights or both, and the type of support you’re confident delivering — from personal care and mobility assistance to dementia‑aware companionship. Families and carers agree on responsibilities for each booking so boundaries are clear from the start.

If you’re used to agency nights but want more control over who you help and when, PrimeCarers is designed for you. There are no shift quotas and no imposed pay rates — you decide what works. When you accept a booking PrimeCarers supports the contract and payment process; insurance is included for the working period and the platform helps with invoicing so payments are straightforward.
