HI,

To claim Carers allowance you must not earn more than £128 per week so unfortunately, he won't be able to claim it. See link.

Also, even if he wasn't working full time, because he's not a Bristish Citizen, if he's subject to immigration control then he won't be able to claim it. (see link for this also)
