Description
Overnight care in Handsworth is about being there so families can sleep with confidence. On PrimeCarers you’ll support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights — offering reassurance, personal care, medication prompts and companionship as needed. You’ll pick the kinds of night work you want, from single nights to regular weekly runs. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced carers who want to leave agency rotas behind and take control of their nights. If you prefer working in Handsworth and the surrounding neighbourhoods, you can choose assignments that fit your life: short runs, block nights or flexible ad-hoc bookings. Many carers who join us enjoy earning more for night work because they set their own rates — typical ranges appear as £17–£18 per hour on our platform.
What nights involve varies by client. You might be providing active support through the night, staying awake to assist with turns, medication or mobility, or offering sleeping nights where you remain on-site and respond if needed. Whatever the role, you remain in the client’s home and build continuity of care that families value.
PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers. You choose your clients, hours and service area. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. You keep control over your availability and set the hourly fees that reflect your skills and experience — many carers list hourly expectations like £18.50–£20 per hour or live-in day rates like £145–£160 per day where relevant.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We place carers across Handsworth and nearby areas including Browns Green, Gib Heath, Handsworth Wood, Winson Green, Lozells and Birchfield in the West Midlands, so you can focus on work close to home.
