Night Care Assistant Jobs in Tamworth

Night care in Tamworth means supporting someone in their own home through the hours families need to sleep. You could be providing waking nights—active support, safety checks and personal care—or sleeping nights with regular checks and a prompt response if needed. Work is local to Tamworth and surrounding areas such as Perry Crofts, Fazeley, Roughley, Whitehouse Common, Falcon Lodge and Mere Green and across Staffordshire, and it suits carers who are calm, experienced and comfortable managing care independently. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This listing is for ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific shift. Typical night tasks include checking on comfort and breathing, assisting with toileting or repositioning, supporting medication prompts as agreed with the family and care plan, listening and offering reassurance, and keeping concise night notes. Overnight work can be physically undemanding at times but it requires good judgement, dignity and reliable record-keeping.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers who work nights find £17–£18 per hour reflects typical market rates for overnight work. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you are working through the platform. If you’re used to agency paperwork, you’ll find the admin here is kept to a minimum—apply in minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This work is best for people with professional care experience who want more control than agency rota work allows. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have a current check.
