Description
Overnight care in Balcurvie means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. Work might involve regular night checks, prompting medication, moving and turning, or providing reassurance and companionship — always agreed with each family and arranged around the client’s needs. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Balcurvie and surrounding Fife communities. You’ll be offering overnight support to people who prefer to remain at home. Some nights are mainly hands-on; others are lighter, offering supervision and peace of mind. You decide whether you accept waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix.
PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers leaving agency work who want more control. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work. Typical rates for overnight care sit around £17–£18 per hour depending on the role and whether it’s a waking or sleeping night. The platform also shows typical hourly and live-in ranges: £18.80–£20 per hour and £140–£160 per day so you can compare when setting your own fees.
This work suits someone with at least one year of professional care experience who likes working alone at night, can stay alert, and responds calmly to call-outs. You’ll need the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), and verifiable references. We don’t post one-off shifts here — we advertise ongoing opportunities and introductions between self-employed carers and families.
Balcurvie is our focus, but you may also see opportunities near Methil, Buckhaven, Leven, Levenmouth, East Wemyss and Markinch — ideal if you already travel across Levenmouth and nearby towns.
