Description

Overnight care in Gun Quarter means helping a person stay safe and comfortable through the night so families can rest. You might provide waking nights – regular checks, medication prompts and personal care – or sleeping nights where you’re present and available if a call is needed. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, choose their own clients and set their own rates. Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity to work locally in the Gun Quarter and nearby communities across the West Midlands. Many carers accept shifts across Birmingham, Gosta Green, New Town Row, Duddeston, Birmingham City Centre and Cofton Common. You’ll find work that fits around family life, study or other commitments.

Pay and patterns vary because you set your own rates and availability. Typical rates sit around £17–£18 per hour and you can choose hourly care or live-in day work. Typical ranges we reference are £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. You decide what to charge and which offers you accept; PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working.

Who this suits: if you already have at least a year of professional care experience, you’re comfortable working independently overnight and you want more control than traditional agency shifts give, this could be a good fit. It’s especially suitable for carers who want fewer travel miles around Birmingham and the city centre, or who prefer the predictability of regular night support in a single household.

To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask about your care background during a short verification – having at least one year’s professional experience is essential. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers is designed for people who want the freedom of self-employed work without the paperwork headache. You remain in control: choose clients, set hours and manage your diary. We take care of the contract details, invoicing and secure payments so you can focus on care.

If you want predictable overnight work in Gun Quarter and the wider West Midlands, create your profile and start seeing local opportunities. It’s quick to apply, and many carers start taking bookings within days.
