Description

Work overnight in a client’s own home across Carmarthen and help families rest easy. These roles cover waking nights or sleeping nights where you stay with the person you support and provide the reassurance, personal care or monitoring they need so relatives can sleep. You’ll be self‑employed, choose which clients and hours suit you, and set your own rates — many carers use £16–£24 per hour as a guide when deciding what to charge.

Overnight care suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and quieter hours. If you prefer fewer handovers, closer relationships and working in people’s own homes across Carmarthen and the wider Carmarthenshire area, these shifts can fit around family life, daytime work or study. You might cover single nights, a few nights a week or longer blocks depending on what you and the client agree.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working a booked shift, insurance is included. You remain self‑employed: you set your terms, choose the service area you’ll cover and accept only the clients you want. Many carers who move from agency work say having that control makes overnight shifts less stressful and more rewarding.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’ll ask for documentation during verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days once checks are complete.

Shifts are arranged directly with families, so we don’t list a single role here — this page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Carmarthen and nearby towns such as Kidwelly, St Clears, Laugharne, Burry Port, Llandysul and Whitland. You remain in control of which nights you take, your travel area and the care you provide.

If you’re used to overnight work and want to keep your clinical standards while cutting through agency admin, setting up a profile on PrimeCarers could be the next step. Create a clear profile, add your experience and references, and start receiving enquiries for nights that match your availability.
