Night Care Assistant Jobs in Chard

Work as a Night Care Assistant in Chard supporting adults in their own homes during waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These ongoing, self‑employed opportunities let you choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. PrimeCarers handles the contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Overnight roles vary: some clients need a waking night for personal care, medication prompts and regular checks; others need a sleeping night with on‑call supervision and occasional assistance. If you prefer predictable nights, or want a mix of waking and sleeping shifts, you can build a regular pattern in Chard and nearby areas. Typical pay on the platform sits around £17–£18 per hour, and you set your own rate to reflect your experience and the support you provide.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. You’ll be right for these roles if you have at least a year of professional care experience, a calm approach to night work, good observational skills and respect for people’s homes and routines. Many carers moving from agency work find nights fit well with family life or daytime commitments in Somerset.

Minimum requirements to join PrimeCarers:

• One year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

PrimeCarers supports self‑employed carers in practical ways: we find clients for you, manage contracts and payments, and include insurance while you are on a booked shift. You remain independent — you set your own hours and choose which families to work with across Chard and surrounding towns such as Ilminster, Axminster, Crewkerne, South Petherton, Lyme Regis and Colyton.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll then be able to see and accept night care requests that suit you rather than waiting for shifts to be allocated.

If you’re an experienced carer in Chard looking for predictable night work, more control over your pay and a straightforward way to connect with families, PrimeCarers makes it simple to get started.
