Description
If you already work nights or are thinking of moving away from agency rotas, PrimeCarers connects self-employed night care assistants with families in Middle Quinton and nearby areas. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes on waking or sleeping nights so relatives can rest. You choose who you work with, set your own hours and set your own rates — many carers in the area use £17–£18 per hour when advertising their services. Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night roles in Middle Quinton suit experienced carers who can work independently overnight: checking on a client, assisting with medication, personal care, or providing reassurance through the long hours. Shifts can be waking nights, short checks or sleeping nights depending on what you and a family agree. Typical pay organisers reference ranges such as £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates, but as a self-employed carer you set your own figure within the local market.
PrimeCarers covers the admin that often slows self-employed carers down. We find family clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on assignments arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed — keeping control of your diary, the clients you accept and the areas you serve across Middle Quinton and beyond in the West Midlands.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if you don’t already have one) and verifiable references. Bring your night-time experience and the calm, practical approach families need. Many carers switching from agency work find nights fit their lifestyle and give more predictable pay-per-shift control.
We make applying quick. Setting up a profile takes minutes and, once you’ve provided documents and references, profiles typically go live within days of verification. When you’re ready you can list your availability, service area and hourly rate, and start receiving enquiries from families close to you — including those around Shenley Green, Shenley Fields, Weoley Castle, Bartley Green, Weoley Hill and California. Being self-employed means flexibility: choose short-term or ongoing arrangements, pick waking or sleeping nights, and manage your own work-life balance.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
