Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed night care assistant supporting people in their own homes across Bruton. You’ll work waking or sleeping nights, helping families rest while you provide reassurance, personal care, medication prompts and monitoring through the night. You choose who you work with and when — many carers use these roles for predictable overnight hours that fit around life and other work.

Night work here can be varied: staying alert for medication or changing needs, offering companionship, repositioning and pressure area checks, completing brief records and passing on clear notes at the end of a shift. Roles suit experienced carers who are comfortable in private homes and who prefer nights to daytime rounds. You’ll mainly be based in Bruton and nearby towns such as Castle Cary, Wincanton, Blackford, Shepton Mallet, Mere and Frome, with occasional calls that reach elsewhere in Somerset.
Pay is set by you — many carers use a rate within £17–£18 per hour and choose whether to offer waking or sleeping-night terms (see typical ranges: £20–£23 per hour and £145–£162 per day). PrimeCarers introduces clients so you can focus on care. We also handle contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provide insurance while you’re working.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
