Description

Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced carers who want control over their hours and who are comfortable working overnight. Many joining PrimeCarers are looking to move away from agency rota life: you’ll be self-employed, choose your own clients, set the hours you’ll accept and work in the parts of Coseley you prefer — including nearby areas such as Sedgley, Tipton, Bilston, Moxley, Dudley and Gornal in the West Midlands. Nights suit people who are reliable, observant and calm under pressure.
Pay is set by you: many carers list rates in the range £17–£18 per hour and decide whether they want waking or sleeping nights. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement. We can also help with arranging an Enhanced DBS if you need one. Choosing your own rates and clients gives you flexibility without the admin of chasing fees or writing contracts yourself.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Please have your references ready when you apply. Applications take minutes; profiles typically go live within days once your checks are verified.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
