Overnight care here often involves personal care, medication prompts, repositioning and companionship through the night. Shifts vary by household: some need short waking checks, others require an on-site presence for peace of mind. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. Typical pay sits around £17–£18 per hour depending on the service and your experience; many carers advertise within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly nights and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

This way of working suits experienced carers who value autonomy — especially those thinking of moving away from rota-driven agency nights. If you want more control over when you work, who you support and how much you charge, Short Heath offers steady demand alongside neighbouring areas like Willenhall, Bloxwich, Wednesfield, Darlaston, Walsall and Coal Pool. You’ll be offering families the reassurance they need to sleep while staying rooted in the local community.

To join PrimeCarers you must have at least one year’s professional care experience, verifiable references, the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t currently hold one. We also require references that confirm the care you’ve provided. While you’re working through the platform, contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance are handled for you, so you can focus on care.

Applying takes only minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and tell families about the overnight support you offer. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you remain free to set your own rates and availability. PrimeCarers introduces clients and handles contracts and payments so you get paid through the platform with insurance included while you work.
