Description
Are you an experienced carer looking for overnight work in Nechells that fits your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed night care assistants with families who need waking or sleeping nights supporting a client in their own home so relatives can rest. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night work with PrimeCarers means you do the hands-on care: checking on a client, supporting personal care, administering medication if required by the family’s plan, repositioning, and being alert to changes that need reporting. Shifts can be waking nights—actively supporting throughout—or sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available. Work is always in a client’s home in Nechells and nearby areas such as Ashted, Saltley, Aston, Gravelly Hill, Duddeston and Alum Rock.
This role suits experienced carers who want more control than typical agency hours. You’ll be self-employed, set your own rates and accept clients and hours that suit you. Typical rates for night care range from £17–£18 per hour depending on the family’s needs and whether a shift is waking or sleeping. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
Requirements to join are straightforward and practical:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent care roles.
Many carers who move from agency work value the flexibility PrimeCarers offers: you choose your clients, set the hours and the service area, and keep control of how you work across Nechells and the wider West Midlands. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
If you want overnight shifts that respect your experience and let you balance life and work, this could be the change you’re looking for. To apply, create a profile, upload your references and DBS (or let us help arrange one), and complete the short checks. Once verified you’ll be ready to see matching requests and start choosing the night care that suits you.
