Description

Overnight care in Washwood Heath means providing steady, respectful support through waking or sleeping nights so families can get the rest they need. You’ll work in people’s own homes, helping with checks, personal care, companionship or keeping an eye on health overnight. Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value consistency and want to move away from agency shifts. Many carers who join us are used to delivering sensitive, person-centred care and want the freedom to choose who they support. In Washwood Heath you’ll find roles that range from light overnight checks to more involved waking nights; you decide what you take on.

On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed and set your own rate, choose your clients, hours and service area — £17–£18 per hour is the typical range for these roles. We introduce you to families and manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork, while remaining in control of how you work across the West Midlands and locally in Washwood Heath.

What you need to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need it).
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Verifiable references from recent care roles.

Applying takes minutes and setting up a profile is straightforward — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can set the hours you want, accept only the clients who suit you and define the area you cover.

Practical note on overnight work: waking nights require regular checks, support with medication prompts or personal care, and attentive record-keeping. Sleeping nights usually mean being present and available, carrying out agreed checks and responding if a client needs help. You choose which nights and responsibilities fit your experience and availability.

If you’re ready to leave restrictive rotas and keep doing the care you’re proud of, PrimeCarers can help you make the switch quickly. Create your profile, upload your references and DBS, set your rates and hours, and we’ll start matching you with families in Washwood Heath and nearby Ward End, Hodge Hill, Bromford, Birches Green, Saltley and Alum Rock. It’s practical, flexible overnight work for experienced carers who want more control.
