Description
Help families sleep easier by providing overnight care in Cotteridge and nearby streets. These roles cover waking nights and sleeping nights in a client’s own home — checking wellbeing, supporting with personal care, medication prompts, repositioning and companionship so relatives can rest. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, choosing the clients and hours that suit you while keeping the continuity and dignity that people value.
Right now, 20 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers supports you to be independent without the admin: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. Carers on our platform set their own rates and typically work within £17–£18 per hour depending on the assignment, skills and local demand. If you prefer live-in arrangements or are used to long night duties, you can also list your availability and service preferences.
This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency routines but keep steady, local work across Cotteridge and surrounding areas such as Bournville, Lifford, Kings Norton, Stirchley, Walkers Heath and Brandwood End. Nights can be quieter, but they also need alertness, good judgement and strong communication with family members and healthcare professionals. You’ll be expected to build trust and offer consistent, respectful care through repeat nights where possible.
To join PrimeCarers you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one). We make the verification straightforward — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed.
