Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers across Northfield with families who need overnight support in their own homes. Nights can be waking shifts or sleeping nights where your presence and judgement let families rest safely. You set your own rates and hours, and you choose the clients you want to work with in Northfield and nearby areas.

Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work suits carers who prefer steady blocks of time and want to build relationships with families. In Northfield such roles often involve companionship, monitoring, supporting personal care where agreed, and being ready to respond during the night. You might prefer waking nights where you’re actively supporting, or sleeping nights where you’re on call — both are common. Typical pay sits around £17–£18 per hour, with options across £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates where relevant.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers looking to move away from agency structures. You remain self‑employed, set rates that reflect your skills, and pick the clients, hours and service area that suit you. We find clients and take care of contracting, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work on assignments sourced through the platform. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork.

To join we ask for a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Applying takes minutes and the process is designed to be straightforward so you can get booking quickly across Northfield, West Heath, Turves Green and the surrounding area.

This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Northfield and nearby towns including West Heath, Turves Green, Shenley Fields, Weoley Castle, Shenley Green and Walkers Heath.

How to apply: create your profile on PrimeCarers, upload your DBS and references (or ask us to help with a new check), and choose the kinds of overnight work you want. Applying really does take only minutes, and profiles generally go live within days of verification.
