Night Care Assistant Jobs in Shard End

Help families sleep easy by providing overnight care in Shard End and the surrounding area. On PrimeCarers you’ll support people in their own homes with waking or sleeping nights — monitoring, personal care, repositioning, medication prompts and quiet companionship as needed — while staying in control of when and where you work. Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing self-employed roles suit experienced carers who want more control than agency life: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates (typical ranges shown at the top of the page). You might cover nights in Shard End and nearby areas such as Buckland End, Lea Hall, Stechford, Tile Cross, Castle Vale and Hodge Hill. Work can be short-term or long-term depending on families’ needs.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and can advertise £18.80–£20 per hour for overnight support or £146–£161.50 per day for full live-in day work where applicable. You’ll see the typical range £17–£18 per hour on listings, but deciding your exact rate is up to you.

What night care involves: duties vary by client but commonly include quiet observation, turning and repositioning, supporting personal care, administering or prompting medication, recording observations and providing reassurance. Some nights are waking shifts; others are sleeping nights with occasional checks. You’ll always agree expectations with the family before taking a booking so you know exactly what’s required.

Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this). You must be comfortable working nights in private homes across Shard End and the wider West Midlands. Insurance is included while you work through PrimeCarers.

How PrimeCarers helps: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re on the job. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline clients that aren’t a good fit.
