Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families needing overnight support in Fox Hollies and nearby areas. Nights can be waking shifts — providing active support, companionship and personal care — or sleeping nights, where you stay in the home and respond as needed so families can rest. You’ll work with clients in their own homes across Fox Hollies and the local West Midlands community. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity for experienced carers who want more control than agency life offers. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical earnings sit around £17–£18 per hour, with common ranges shown as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Who this suits:

  • Experienced night carers with at least one year of professional care experience who prefer flexible, self-directed work.
  • Carers leaving agency rota work and seeking predictable nights, clearer pay and direct client relationships.
  • People comfortable working alone overnight in a client’s home and confident managing calls, medication prompts, personal care and occasional moving/assisting during the night.

Joining is straightforward. You need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Shifts and areas: you choose the hours that suit you and the service area you’ll accept. Many carers pick clients in Fox Hollies and neighbouring towns such as Hall Green, Tyseley, Sarehole, Sparkhill, South Yardley and Hay Mills to keep travel time reasonable. You remain fully self-employed: you negotiate rates with families and accept the clients that fit your needs.

How PrimeCarers supports you: we introduce you to families, manage the paperwork, collect fees and pay you, and include insurance cover while you’re working for a matched client. That means less admin and more time caring.

If you want predictable nights, more control over pay and the dignity of working directly with families, creating a PrimeCarers profile is the next step. Apply now — it takes minutes to start, and many profiles go live within days after verification.
