This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from traditional agency routines and take control. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept and the hours you’ll do, and define your service area around Castleford and nearby towns such as Pontefract, Normanton, Featherstone, Knottingley, Garforth and Sherburn in Elmet. Many carers find the combination of overnight focus and flexible scheduling fits family life or daytime commitments. Typical rates for these roles are £16.89–£17.70 per hour.

Overnight care includes both waking nights — when you’re alert and active throughout the shift — and sleeping nights — where you’re on-site and available to respond. Tasks commonly include checking breathing or medication, supporting mobilisation or toileting, recording observations and providing companionship or reassurance. You will work to an agreed care plan and only accept clients whose needs match your experience and comfort level.
