Overnight shifts suit carers who are calm, reliable and used to working alone for long periods. Many of the roles you’ll find through PrimeCarers are in Five Ways and nearby areas such as Brindleyplace, Ladywood, Chad Valley, Edgbaston, Cofton Common and Jewellery Quarter. You’ll decide whether you want waking nights (hands-on support through the night) or sleeping nights (on-site rest with availability to assist). Work can be short-term or ongoing; this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single position.

PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to move away from agency constraints. You’re self-employed, so you set your own rates and can choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for overnight care are shown below: £17–£18 per hour. You’ll also see hourly and live-in ranges where relevant: £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

To join, you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers takes care of client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a client placement. That means less admin for you and a clearer, more direct working relationship with the families you support.

Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload your ID and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain in control: accept the clients and nights you want, set your availability, and manage your diary around other commitments.

If you’re an experienced carer in Five Ways or elsewhere in the West Midlands and want overnight work with more autonomy, this is a practical, honest route to choosing the shifts that work for you. Create a profile today and be matched to families looking for trusted overnight support.
