Overnight Carer Jobs in Berkeley

Night-time care is different. In Berkeley and the surrounding parts of Gloucestershire families need steady, skilled carers who can cover waking or sleeping nights in someone’s own home so relatives can rest. If you prefer nights, value continuity of care and want to work for yourself rather than through a rota-driven agency, this page is for you. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work can mean staying awake for regular checks, supporting with medication, moving and turning, or providing reassurance and companionship while a client sleeps. Some shifts are fully awake ‘waking nights’; others are ‘sleeping nights’ with scheduled checks. You’ll choose the kind of nights you take and how many you want in and around Berkeley, whether you prefer short runs or regular weekly nights.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families. Carers set their own rates, choose clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. Typical rates for overnight shifts sit around £17–£21 per hour depending on the client’s needs and the hours agreed.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Berkeley and nearby towns such as Lydney, Dursley, Wotton under Edge, Eastington, Thornbury and Wickwar. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’re realistic: we’re looking for competent, reliable people who understand the responsibilities of night care.

Working through PrimeCarers suits carers who want more control than agency life usually offers. You decide which clients to accept, set the rate that reflects your skills, and plan your nights around your life. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re ready to take more control of your nights in Berkeley, create a profile and start seeing local opportunities. The sign-up is quick, support is practical, and you stay self-employed while we take care of the paperwork and payments so families and carers can focus on what matters most—safe, compassionate night support.
