Description
Overnight carer work in Rubery means providing waking or sleeping nights in someone’s own home so a family can rest. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night shifts vary. Some are primarily companionship and observation; others include supporting with personal care, prompting medication, repositioning, pressure care checks and keeping accurate records for the family or their care plan. You’ll visit clients in houses across Rubery and the surrounding area, offering calm, experienced care through the night. This is overnight work for people who prefer the pace of nights and want to work in their clients’ homes rather than in a care setting.
This route suits carers who already have at least 1 year of professional care experience and want more control than agency rotas allow. If you’re thinking of leaving agency work, self-employment lets you set your own rates, accept the night patterns you prefer and build long-term relationships in Rubery, and across Worcestershire. You’ll often be working near places like New Frankley, Rednal, Gannow Green, Longbridge, Turves Green and Frankley.
Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer you set your own rates. Typical rates for this kind of role are £17–£18 per hour. You can choose shorter night shifts, regular rounds of sleeping nights, or longer live-in night cover where required. PrimeCarers supports you with clear contracts and handles invoicing and payments so you get paid for the time you work.
To join you must have at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single role on this page — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Rubery and nearby towns. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
How to apply: create a short profile, upload your documents and references, and choose the areas and night patterns you want to cover. Once verified, PrimeCarers will match you with families seeking overnight support, handle the paperwork and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working so you can focus on care.
