This opportunity suits experienced carers who want the control of self-employment without admin stress. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the work that fits your life; many carers charge within £17–£20.20 per hour and choose a mix of single nights or regular blocks. Nights can be quieter and deeply rewarding for carers who prefer one-to-one support and steady routines.

Typical overnight tasks include observing and reporting changes, assisting with toileting and personal care where needed, helping with transfers or repositioning, keeping records of sleep and medication, and supporting a calm environment so families can sleep. Sleeping nights may require being on-call while the client sleeps; waking nights require active presence and monitoring. You pick which type you want to offer.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you're working through the platform, so you can focus on care. You remain self-employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set the rate you charge. Many carers who leave agency rotas find this model gives better work-life balance—especially in and around Buckfastleigh and neighbouring towns like Ashburton, Totnes, Newton Abbot, Ivybridge, Bovey Tracey and Kingsteignton in Devon.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly: the application takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you already have an Enhanced DBS and references to hand, you can be ready to accept nights very soon.

If you want to keep doing work you care about, but on your own terms in Buckfastleigh, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward. Create a profile, choose the overnight shifts you want and support families who need stable, respectful night-time care.
