Description

Night care in Coleford means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be providing companionship, personal care, medication prompting and monitoring overnight needs, with the chance to build ongoing client relationships close to home. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing, self-employed work for experienced carers who want more control. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose clients, hours and service area, and keep the flexibility to balance life and work across Coleford and surrounding areas. Typical pay sits around £17–£20.80 per hour depending on the role, the client’s needs and whether nights are waking or sleep-in.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work. That means you can focus on care rather than chasing paperwork or breaks in cover. Many carers who move from agency shifts to self-employed nights value the clearer diary and direct client relationships they get in Gloucestershire.

Who this suits:

  • Experienced night carers who are confident working alone overnight and making safe judgements.
  • Carers wanting flexibility to pick specific nights, regular blocks or occasional cover.
  • People who value continuity—nights let you get to know a client and their family and make a real difference to their peace of mind.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed). You’ll register as self-employed and set your own hourly or night rates. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, letting you start considering work in Coleford and nearby towns like Monmouth, Cinderford, Lydney, Mitcheldean, Ross on Wye and Berkeley.

How shifts look: some nights are waking (active support, personal care, moving and handling, observations) and some are sleep-in, where you remain on-site to respond if needed. Neither role is a one-size-fits-all; each client’s support plan defines the duties. PrimeCarers never advertises a single fixed post here—this page promotes ongoing opportunities across the Coleford area.

If you’re ready for more control over your nights, to set terms that suit you and to keep doing highly valued work in your community, creating a PrimeCarers profile is quick. You can be up and running in days and start seeing nights that match your experience and availability in Coleford and across Gloucestershire.
