Description
If you prefer nights and want to work directly with families, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with overnight roles in Coldstream and the surrounding area. Nights can be waking or sleeping support in a client's own home so families can rest. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Night work suits experienced, reliable carers who want quieter hours and greater control. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you take on. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, with separate ranges for hourly and live-in day work such as £15–£25 per hour and £140.50–£160 per day. Many carers find the flexibility lets them balance family life, study or other work while still giving skilled overnight support across Coldstream and nearby towns.
This platform is made for carers who are used to agency routines but want to keep their independence. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you choose who to work for and which nights to accept. Travel to nearby areas like Kelso, Greenlaw, Duns, Wooler, Berwick upon Tweed and Eyemouth is common; you'll decide your service area.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
If you already work nights for agencies, this is a chance to keep the work you enjoy while making your own choices about pay and hours. You won’t be tied into set rotas. Instead, select the nights that suit you and the clients you prefer in Coldstream and across the Scottish Borders.
Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload ID and references, and we’ll verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start reviewing clients and offering nights soon after. PrimeCarers supports carers through the setup, including DBS assistance and admin carried out for you so you can focus on care.
If you’re ready to move away from agency constraints but want the reassurance of support and booked clients, join other night carers working with families in Coldstream. Set your rates, choose your nights and keep control of your work-life balance — apply now and get your profile visible in days.
