Description

Work nights in Aberdare supporting adults who need waking or sleeping night care in their own homes so families can rest. As a night care assistant you’ll provide companionship, support with repositioning, personal care where needed, medication prompts and monitoring through the night — always adapting to each person’s plan and preferences. You’ll be working independently in people’s homes across Aberdare and the surrounding valleys, including Porth, Tafarnaubach, Pontypridd, Tredegar, Ebbw Vale and Maesteg.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with ongoing overnight roles rather than single shifts. Carers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and areas to accept, with typical pay between £17–£18 per hour. We support both waking and sleeping night work and you can pick the pattern that fits you — occasional nights, regular blocks, or long-term live-in arrangements where applicable.

This kind of work suits experienced, steady carers who prefer one-to-one work in a home setting. If you’re used to agency night rounds but want more control over who you work for and when, this could be a good move. Many carers switching to PrimeCarers appreciate the calmer pace of overnight support and the chance to build trusting relationships with people they visit regularly in Aberdare and nearby communities in Rhondda, Cynon, Taff.

What PrimeCarers handles for you:

  • Client matching and contracts — we introduce you to families and create the paperwork.
  • Invoicing and payments — we process fees and pay you directly, with insurance included while you work.
  • Flexibility — choose the hours, area and clients that suit you; you remain self-employed and set your own rate.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this if you don’t have one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t post or promise a single job on this page — instead we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Aberdare and the valleys.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll then be able to review client requests, agree rates and book night shifts that work for you.
