Overnight Carer Jobs in Cheltenham

If you’re an experienced carer who prefers night work, Cheltenham has ongoing overnight care assignments supporting people in their own homes — waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. Nights can suit experienced care workers who value quieter hours, deeper one-to-one support and a better work–life balance than day shifts often allow.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care can include checking wellbeing at regular intervals, helping with medication prompts, providing personal care when needed, supporting repositioning or comfort, keeping records and offering calm companionship. You’ll be working alone in a private home during the night; good observation, clear record-keeping and respectful communication with family are key. These roles are based in and around Cheltenham and nearby communities such as Winchcombe, Greet, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Painswick and Northleach.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own hours, choose clients and define the area you cover. You decide your rates — many carers in the area charge between £18.80–£22.50 per hour for hourly night visits or £145–£160 per day for live-in day-equivalents — and you can update them as you wish. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on caring.

This style of work suits carers with at least a year of professional experience who want more control than agency rotas usually allow. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if required), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You should be confident working independently overnight and able to manage record-keeping and liaising with families and healthcare professionals as needed.

Many carers move to overnight work for greater predictability and to avoid constant daytime travel between calls. If you already live in Cheltenham or travel from nearby towns in Gloucestershire, nights can be a sustainable way to increase your take-home by choosing the clients and patterns that suit you.

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 review matches, contact families and accept work that fits your availability. We do not advertise a single vacancy here — this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities across Cheltenham and the surrounding area.
