Description
If you’re an experienced carer in Longbridge who prefers the freedom of working independently, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families looking for overnight support. Overnight work can be waking nights or sleeping nights, supporting someone in their own home so relatives can rest. You choose the clients, the hours and the area you cover around Longbridge, and you set your own rates. Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Overnight roles often involve companionship, personal care, medication prompts, and observation through the night. Some shifts are waking nights where active support is needed; others are sleeping nights where you should be ready to respond. The work suits carers who are reliable, calm under pressure, and experienced in supporting people with mobility needs, dementia, or complex health conditions. Many carers moving away from agencies value being able to plan nights around family life or other daytime work in Longbridge and nearby areas like Turves Green, Rednal, West Heath, Northfield, Rubery and New Frankley.
Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hourly rate within the local market. Typical rates for overnight work range around £17–£18 per hour and you can set hours to suit you. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
Who we’re looking for: you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed). We check references and documentation before your profile goes live — this keeps families and carers safe across Longbridge and the wider West Midlands.
How it works in practice: you build a profile that highlights your experience and the overnight support you offer. Families contact you directly through the platform, or PrimeCarers will introduce suitable matches. You decide which clients to accept, the nights you’ll do and how far you’ll travel. Many carers choose to focus on particular streets or neighbourhoods in Longbridge to keep travel simple.
Ready to switch from agency life or to take on occasional nights alongside other work? The application is straightforward, and you stay in control of your work, rates and schedule.
