Description
Night-time care in Biggar means supporting people to stay safe and comfortable in their own homes while families get the rest they need. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for overnight care — waking or sleeping nights — not a single advertised post. You’ll work directly with families and set the hours that suit you.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
If you’re an experienced carer thinking about moving away from agency life, PrimeCarers puts you in control. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and the service area you cover across Biggar and beyond in South Lanarkshire. You also set your own rates and most carers charge around £15–£25 per hour when working overnight. PrimeCarers finds the families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.
Overnight care can be mainly observational, or hands-on, depending on the person’s needs. Waking nights often involve personal care, medication prompts, companionship and active support. Sleeping nights typically focus on staying nearby, checking regularly and responding if the person needs help. All care is provided in the client’s own home and the exact duties are agreed between you and the family, so you can pick the roles that match your skills and experience in Biggar.
