Description
Overnight care in Browns Green means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be working as a self-employed carer, choosing the nights you take, the clients you support and the area you cover. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night work typically includes personal care, medication checks, reassurance, mobility support and keeping records. Some nights are 'sleeping' where you’re on-site and available, others are 'waking' requiring active support — you decide which suits you. Shifts around Browns Green often cover nearby areas such as Handsworth, Handsworth Wood, Perry Barr, Gib Heath, Birchfield and Lozells and across the wider West Midlands.
Pay is set by you: carers on PrimeCarers choose their own rates and many set competitive prices that reflect their experience and the responsibilities of night work (typical rates fall within £17–£18 per hour). You can quote different amounts for waking nights, sleeping nights and live-in day work using ranges such as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day when relevant.
This role suits experienced carers who value control and predictability. If you’ve spent time in agencies or care teams and want to reduce travel, choose particular clients or protect your time off, self-employment through PrimeCarers gives you that flexibility while we handle the admin. PrimeCarers finds matches, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working — so you can focus on care.
To join you 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. You’ll create a profile in minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain in control: choose clients, hours and your service area across Browns Green and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Applying is straightforward. Create a quick profile, upload your documents and references, and choose the nights you’re open to. Once verified you can start receiving enquiries and arranging work that fits your life — ideal if you want fewer agency shifts, more predictable nights or the freedom to set your rates.
