Description
Overnight care in Redditch is about helping a family rest safe in their own home. Whether you prefer waking nights that involve active support or sleeping nights where you stay nearby and respond if needed, PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with local households across Redditch and Worcestershire. You pick the clients, the hours and the area you work in, while we handle the admin.
Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical overnight arrangements vary: many carers charge within the range £17–£18 per hour, with common patterns falling into £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for day rates when live-in support is needed. You decide your rate, accept the clients you want and plan nights that fit your life. Overnight work suits carers who can stay alert through a shift, manage medication or repositioning, support someone with dementia or learning disabilities, or provide reassurance to families who need a reliable night presence.
This is ongoing, self-employed work across Redditch and nearby towns such as Midlands, Bromsgrove, Longbridge, Hawkesley, West Heath and Rednal. You won’t be applying for a single advertised shift — instead you create a profile that helps local families find you for regular nights or occasional bookings. Many carers who leave agency rotas value the choice and steadier relationships with families that this model brings.
To join you need at least one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references. PrimeCarers checks these documents quickly so most profiles go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes: complete your profile, add your documents and availability, and you’re ready to be contacted by families seeking overnight support.
While you’re working for a family we provide the contract, invoicing and payment handling, and insurance cover. That means you keep the independence of being self-employed while avoiding much of the paperwork that can slow you down. Families see your profile and book directly; you choose which bookings to accept.
If you’re based in Redditch and want more predictable nights, or you’re tired of agency shifts and want control over your hours and rates, create your PrimeCarers profile today. The sign-up is quick, verification is prompt, and soon you could be choosing the overnight work that fits your life and skills.

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.
