Description

Night-time care in Dudley puts you at the heart of families who need steady, compassionate support so relatives can sleep. Whether you prefer waking nights or sleeping nights, you’ll work in people’s own homes, supporting daily routines, medication prompts, personal care or emergency responses as agreed with each family. PrimeCarers focuses on matching experienced, self‑employed carers to long-term home-based work across Dudley and surrounding communities.

Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical pay for overnight work varies by client and duties, but many carers on PrimeCarers set rates within £17–£18 per hour. You choose your own rate, your hours and the service area you cover — whether that’s central Dudley or nearby towns such as Tipton, Netherton, Rowley Regis, Coseley, Gornal and Brierley Hill. PrimeCarers introduces you to families and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who value autonomy and steady overnight shifts. Waking nights involve active monitoring, manual handling, care tasks and regular checks. Sleeping nights usually mean staying in the home, being available when needed and completing occasional checks. You’ll agree duties and boundaries with each family before taking a booking.

  • Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional experience, verifiable references, the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
  • Work style: genuine self-employed arrangements — set your own hours, accept the clients you want and control your diary.
  • Support from PrimeCarers: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working for a family.

Applying takes minutes. Once you complete a short profile and verification, profiles typically go live within days. You’ll receive client introductions and can choose which nights to accept — no need to commit to long rotas unless you want to.

If you’re based in Dudley or elsewhere in the West Midlands and want more control over your nights, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to move away from agency shifts and into direct, self‑employed care work.
