Description
Work overnight in the homes of people who need waking or sleeping-night support across Arlesey and the surrounding area. These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and keep closer control of their hours, clients and rates. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As an overnight carer you may be asked to provide waking nights — staying alert to support medication, repositioning or comfort — or sleeping nights where you remain in the home and respond when needed. Shifts vary by client: some people need regular, nightly cover; others need occasional cover so families can rest. You choose the types of nights you take and how many each week.
Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, so you can reflect your experience and the responsibilities you accept. Typical rates for this kind of work are £17–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work.
This style of work suits carers who have a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, want to build stronger one-to-one relationships, and prefer reliable overnight shifts over unpredictable day rotas. Many of our Arlesey-based carers choose to cover nearby towns like Stotfold, Letchworth, Shefford, Baldock, Hitchin and Biggleswade and across Bedfordshire when they need more work or different hours.
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
Applying takes minutes — build a profile, upload your documents and tell us the nights and areas you want to cover. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can begin choosing clients and shifts that suit you. PrimeCarers supports you with contracts, invoicing and insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
If you’re an experienced carer based in Arlesey or nearby and want to shape your night work around your life, this is a flexible route that keeps you self-employed but supported.

Start in minutes and be ready to accept overnight shifts across Arlesey and Bedfordshire before long.
