Description
Duddeston needs reliable overnight carers who can offer waking or sleeping nights supporting people in their own homes. You’ll be helping families rest, managing medication prompts, personal care and safety checks, or providing companionship through the night — whichever matches the client’s agreed care plan. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This listing advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Duddeston and the surrounding area. You’ll choose the clients, the hours you take and the area you cover, and set your own rates within the typical range. Many carers who join PrimeCarers prefer the freedom of nights because it fits around daytime commitments and often pays well compared with daytime work. You’ll be working in Duddeston and nearby neighbourhoods including Gosta Green, Gun Quarter, Birmingham, Aston, New Town Row and Birmingham City Centre in and around the West Midlands.
What the role looks like: overnight care can be waking nights (active support, personal care, moving and handling) or sleeping nights (on-site presence with regular checks and responding if needed). Tasks depend on each client’s needs and the written care agreement. You will never be asked to accept work that doesn’t match your skills or comfort level — you select the shifts you want.
Pay and practicalities: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for this kind of work sit around £17–£18 per hour. You can also view typical ranges for hourly care or live-in day work via the platform: £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Who we’re looking for: you should have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. If you are used to agency nights and want more control over who you support, your hours and what you earn, this model is built for that step.
How to apply: create a profile, add your experience and references, and complete ID checks. The platform guides you through pricing and how to present overnight experience, and PrimeCarers supports you through verification. Profiles often go live within days, so you can start seeing suitable night opportunities in Duddeston quickly.
