Description

Work overnight in Digbeth supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. These roles include waking nights and sleeping nights, where you’ll provide personal care, medication prompts, companionship and a calm, safe presence through the night. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care suits experienced carers who prefer quieter, concentrated shifts and who value continuity with the same household. Many carers move to overnight work to reduce daytime travel and to build stronger relationships with clients. You’ll be working across Digbeth and nearby areas such as Deritend, Bordesley, Chinese Quarter, Birmingham City Centre, Cofton Common and Birmingham, with opportunities across the wider West Midlands.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay sits around £17–£18 per hour depending on the client’s needs and your experience; for reference the usual ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly nights and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working.

What the role involves: you may be asked to assist with personal care, mobility, observations, administering medication according to instructions, supporting sleep routines and being available for reassurance overnight. Some nights require regular checks and documentation, others are mainly a sleeping-in presence. You will never be asked to perform tasks outside your competence or to work without clear instructions and support.

Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over when and where they work. You must have the right to work in the UK, provide verifiable references and hold an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it). Excellent communication, respect for people’s homes and a calm night-time manner are essential.

When you’re ready to accept an assignment, PrimeCarers supports the contract, pays you on time and keeps insurance active while you work.

Ready to start? Create your profile, upload references and any certificates, and tell us the areas of Digbeth you cover and the hours you prefer. Once verified you’ll be visible to families looking for overnight support. Apply now and keep control of your work while offering families the reassurance they need through the night.
