Description
Work nights in someone’s own home supporting a person who needs waking or sleeping-night care so families can rest. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer continuity of care, quieter hours and the chance to build one-to-one relationships rather than shift-hopping. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients you accept and the hours you work — many carers organise regular waking nights, sleeping nights or mixtures that suit their life in Solihull and the wider West Midlands.
Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Pay is set by you and your rates are visible to families; typical listings show £17–£18 per hour. You can also see £18.80–£20 per hour for standard night shifts and £147.50–£163.50 per day when an arrangement includes daytime live-in care. PrimeCarers brings the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re on a booking so you can focus on care and planning your evenings and weekends.
Who this is for: you’ve got at least one year’s professional care experience, a right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t have a current one). If you’re used to agency rota pressure but want more control over who you work with and when, moving to self-employed night work in Solihull could be the next step.
Shift patterns vary. Waking nights typically involve personal care, medication prompts, moving and handling where required, and companionship through the night. Sleeping nights are often quieter, with periodic checks and support if the client needs assistance. You remain the professional decision-maker on the night, with families and PrimeCarers available for any follow-up or changes.
Geography: you’ll find opportunities across Solihull and in nearby areas such as Shirley, Wells Green, Sheldon, Fox Hollies, Hall Green and South Yardley. You pick the distance you travel and the clients you accept, so you can balance travel with hours that suit you.
How to apply: it only takes minutes to create a profile, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off listings, so you can build regular night work or keep a flexible mix alongside daytime commitments.
If you’re ready to take more control of your night-care work in Solihull, set your rates and choose your clients, PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward so you can focus on care.
