Description
Do you have experience supporting people through waking or sleeping nights and want more control over the work you do in Sutton Coldfield? PrimeCarers connects self-employed night care assistants with families across Sutton Coldfield and the wider West Midlands who need reliable overnight support in their own homes. As a night carer you’ll help someone to be safe and comfortable through the night, whether that means supporting with medication, personal care, repositioning, observations or simply being a calm, reassuring presence.
Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing opportunity for self-employed carers rather than a single post. With PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers in the area use the freedom to balance daytime commitments or family life while working evenings and nights. Typical rates for this kind of work fall in the range £17–£18 per hour.
Work you might do on waking or sleeping nights (examples, not a job description):
- Nightly checks and observations, supporting sleep routines and responding to needs.
- Assisting with personal care, medication prompts and pressure area management.
- Providing companionship and reassurance so families can rest with confidence.
This role will suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and reclaim flexibility in Sutton Coldfield, including areas such as Tudor Hill, Doe Bank, Whitehouse Common, Driffold, Maney and Mere Green. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
