Description
Looking for overnight care work around Auchterarder that fits your life and experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need waking or sleeping-night support in their own homes. You’ll be choosing which clients to accept, picking the hours you want and setting your own pay. If you’re already working nights in Perthshire and Kinross or nearby, this is a straightforward way to step away from agency constraints while keeping the hands-on care you value.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night care duties vary by client but typically include: checking comfort and wellbeing, supporting toileting and repositioning, helping with medication prompts where required, and being a calm, experienced presence so families can rest. You could do waking nights (active support through the shift) or sleeping nights (on-site support while the client sleeps); you choose the kind of nights you want to offer.
Pay is set by you and many carers on the platform work within £15–£25 per hour depending on the role and responsibilities. PrimeCarers lists both hourly and live-in opportunities, so you’ll see listings that reference £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day where relevant. Remember: this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Auchterarder and the surrounding area, not one single placement.
This role suits experienced carers who want reliable overnight work without agency rules. If you’ve done at least a year of professional care and can provide verifiable references, you’re already close to qualifying. You’ll also need the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if needed. Many carers join from Auchterarder, Crieff, Tillicoultry and other nearby towns such as Crieff, Tillicoultry, Alva, Bridge of Earn, Menstrie and Perth and quickly start taking bookings that match their availability.
PrimeCarers handles the client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for you — and insurance is included while you work on bookings arranged through the platform. That means you can focus on caring, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be accepting night shifts soon after signing up.
