Description

Overnight care in Boddam is about being there when families need rest. You’ll provide waking or sleeping nights supporting a client in their own home so relatives can sleep easy. Roles vary from regular nights for one household to occasional cover; you choose which clients and hours suit you. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers across Boddam and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates — many working nights charge within £15–£25 per hour — and you decide your service area and availability. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

Typical overnight work can include personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, observations and companionship; the exact needs depend on each client. Some carers prefer waking nights where they are alert through the shift; others prefer sleeping nights where they remain on-site and respond as needed. You can offer hourly care at the usual range of £15–£25 per hour or live-in day arrangements within £145–£160 per day, depending on what you and the family agree.

This kind of role suits experienced, dependable carers who value control over when and where they work. If you’re used to agency nights but want more say over pay, clients and paperwork, working through PrimeCarers lets you keep the hands-on care while we manage client introductions and billing. You’ll be choosing work around Boddam, and often in nearby communities such as Clerkhill, Peterhead, Ellon, Maud, Fraserburgh and Rosehearty.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange that check if you don’t already have one. We verify applicants quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Remember: these are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. If you prefer nights and want to shape your own schedule around life in Boddam, this could be a good fit.
