Description

Work overnight in a client’s own home across Ascot, Berkshire, providing waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. Overnight care can be quiet companionship, supporting mobility, checking wellbeing, or helping with personal care and medication prompts — whatever the household needs during the night. Right now, 71 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Night work here in Ascot often involves working alone in a family home and being a calm, confident presence. Waking nights mean you are alert to needs and can support active tasks; sleeping nights mean you are on-site and available if you need to respond. You’ll keep simple records of care and communicate clearly with families and any day teams. Shifts are arranged between you and the family you choose.

This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and more control than agency contracts usually allow. If you’ve got at least one year of professional care experience and want to pick the clients and hours that fit your life, PrimeCarers can introduce you to people in Ascot and nearby towns including Bracknell, Castle Green, Camberley, Egham, Crowthorne and Windsor. Many carers who move to self-employed night work value the quieter pace and the chance to build trust with the same families over time.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and keep control of your diary. Typical rates for this kind of work fall in the range £17–£20 per hour and you choose whether to offer waking or sleeping nights and how far you’ll travel. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care and relationships.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this). PrimeCarers verifies credentials and references so your profile can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single position. To apply, create your profile, upload or request a DBS, and tell us the hours and area you want to work. You’ll be able to review client requests and accept the ones that suit you. If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and take control of your night work in Ascot and across Berkshire, get started — it really only takes a few minutes to apply.
