Overnight Carer Jobs in Bristol

PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities for overnight care in Bristol — waking or sleeping nights supporting an adult in their own home so families can rest. You’ll work directly with families, choosing the clients, hours and area that suit you while PrimeCarers handles the contracts, invoicing and payments and provides insurance while you work. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care can mean different things for different people. Waking nights often involve regular checks, prompting medication, helping with personal care or moving and repositioning. Sleeping nights are when you’re in the home, available to step in if needed but otherwise allowing family members to rest. Shifts can be one-off nights, regular weekly nights or longer-term arrangements — you decide what fits your life.

This route suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work offers. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one. You’ll be self-employed, set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area around Bristol and nearby areas such as Kingswood, Filton, Keynsham, Patchway, Bradley Stoke and Nailsea.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typical rates for overnight work fall in the range £17–£20 per hour. How much you earn depends on the hours you take, the complexity of care and the clients you choose. Some carers prefer steady regular nights, others pick occasional shifts for flexibility.

Requirements

• Experience: At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: Enhanced DBS check (we can assist) and verifiable references.
• Right to work: Proof you can work in the UK.
• Administration: PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your references and checks, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Profiles are visible to families looking for overnight carers across Bristol and surrounding towns, so you can start choosing shifts quickly. This is an ongoing opportunity board for self-employed carers rather than a single role.

If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and take control of your nights, join PrimeCarers. You’ll get help with the admin, be free to set your own terms, and build trusting relationships with the families you choose to support in Bristol.
