Description

Overnight carers in Maypole provide vital, hands-on support so families can rest.

Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency schedules and take control of their time. Many carers work regular nights for the same household; others pick occasional shifts that fit around family life. You set your own rates (typical ranges shown below), choose the clients you accept and decide how far you travel. PrimeCarers lists typical ranges for overnight roles: £17–£18 per hour, with more detailed hourly and live-in ranges shown to carers on the platform such as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

Typical overnight duties include:

  • Monitoring health and breathing, checking any alarms or alarms devices.
  • Assisting with night-time personal care, repositioning and pressure area checks.
  • Administering or prompting medication where required and agreed.
  • Completing brief notes and handovers for morning carers or family members.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers: you keep the freedom to set your own hours and service area, choose clients across Maypole and nearby communities, and manage work that suits your lifestyle in the West Midlands. We find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provide insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
