Description
Are you an experienced carer in Axbridge who prefers working overnight? PrimeCarers connects self-employed night care assistants with families who need waking or sleeping night support in their own homes so relatives can rest. You’ll be supporting people overnight with companionship, personal care, medication prompts and gentle monitoring — in familiar surroundings and with the dignity the client deserves. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night work can suit carers who like focused hours and continuity of care. Nights may be waking (active support through the shift) or sleeping (on-site overnight with checks). You decide the kind of nights you accept and which clients you work with in Axbridge and the surrounding area, including Highbridge, Weston super Mare, Weston Otmoor, Burnham on Sea, Wells and Glastonbury. Many carers use these shifts to top up daytime work or to build a small, steady roster that fits family life in Somerset.
Pay is set by you. Typical rates for night support are £17–£20 per hour, with more detail available on hourly and live-in day ranges of £18.80–£23 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You remain self-employed: you set your own hours, choose clients and define your service area. PrimeCarers finds potential clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify these quickly so your profile can go live within days of submission. Applying takes minutes and the whole sign-up process is designed for busy carers who want a fast, clear route away from agency rot and towards more control over their work.
This listing advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single position. You won’t be tied to set rotas or forced to accept shifts you don’t want. Instead you’ll pick the nights that suit you and the clients you feel best placed to support. If you’re based in Axbridge or nearby and ready to take control of your night care work, sign up and see what local families need.
