Overnight Carer Jobs in Carlisle

Work as an overnight carer in Carlisle supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Overnight shifts may be waking nights — staying alert to help with care needs — or sleeping nights with the option to step in when required. You’ll be choosing assignments around your availability, working across Carlisle and nearby areas including Smithfield, Longtown, Brampton, Gretna, Wigton and Annan. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the hours and clients that suit you. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, with hourly and live-in ranges shown on your profile as £19.20–£22 per hour and £145–£160 per day so families know what to expect. PrimeCarers brings you enquiries, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

This role suits experienced carers who value control and consistency. If you’ve done at least a year of professional care work, you’ll already have the practical skills for overnight support: medication prompts, moving and repositioning, monitoring health and wellbeing, and providing companionship through the night. Many carers who move from agency work find the quieter pace of overnight shifts and the ability to arrange regular nights helpful for work-life balance in Carlisle and across Cumbria.

To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We ask for at least one year of professional care experience. Profiles are quick to set up: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Choose which clients you’d like to meet, agree terms that suit you, and plan the nights you want to work. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with contracts, secure payment processing and insurance while you’re on shift, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. If you’re ready to take more control of your hours and work locally in Carlisle and throughout Cumbria, creating a profile is the next step.
