Description

Looking for overnight care work in Selly Park that fits your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who need waking or sleeping nights in their own homes across Selly Park and the wider West Midlands. Nights are about supporting someone to sleep safely or staying alert for calls — helping families rest with your presence and professional care. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care can be quieter than daytime shifts, but it is just as important. Waking nights involve personal care, medication prompts, moving and handling where needed, and observations. Sleeping nights require professional judgement, quick responses if a need arises and good record-keeping. You’ll be working in the client’s home and supporting their routines, dignity and safety through calm, consistent overnight support.

This way of working suits carers who want control: you are self-employed, set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers moving away from agency work choose nights because they can combine fewer shifts with better pay-per-hour and predictable runs. Typical rates sit at £17–£18 per hour depending on client needs, duties and your experience. You can expect opportunities across Selly Park and nearby areas such as Bournbrook, Selly Oak, Moor Green, Stirchley, Weoley Hill and Bournville.

To join PrimeCarers you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work on placements arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed: manage your tax and records as you choose, but we’ll make the matching, admin and payments straightforward.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. When you create a profile you’ll list your experience, night skills and availability so families can reach out for matches that suit you. There’s no single vacancy on this page — we advertise ongoing overnight opportunities across Selly Park and the West Midlands for carers who want more autonomy.

If you’re an experienced night carer ready to take greater control of your work-life balance, start your profile today. The sign-up is quick, support is on hand, and nights that respect your professionalism are waiting.
