This listing advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in and around Bridgnorth, not a single post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose the clients and hours they want. Typical rates fall around £17–£17.80 per hour with common ranges shown as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly nights and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates where applicable.

Overnight care often suits experienced carers who prefer longer, focused shifts with fewer handovers. You might provide waking nights, gentle supervision for people at risk of falls, support with continence or medication, or sleep-in support where you remain on-site. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the quieter hours and the chance to build trusting relationships with families in Bridgnorth and beyond.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed — that means you set your own rates, pick clients and control your diary. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be ready to accept bookings quickly.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’ll verify your documents and references so families can book with confidence. If you already have an Enhanced DBS, great; if not, we’ll guide you through the process so you can start sooner.

If you’re an experienced carer based in Bridgnorth or nearby and want to move away from agency constraints while keeping admin and payment support, PrimeCarers could be the right fit. Create a profile, choose the overnight roles that suit you, and keep control of your work and earnings. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days.
