Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, choosing the clients, hours and service area that work for them. Typical pay sits around £17–£20 per hour, and you decide whether you do occasional nights or a regular roster in and around Consett and Durham.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life offers: you pick the shifts you accept, manage how many nights you take, and can focus on the relationships that matter. Many carers making the change already live near Consett and neighbouring towns such as Stanley, Stockfield, Tow Law, Prudhoe, Wolsingham and Ryton.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, so you spend time caring rather than chasing administration. While you work on a booked shift, insurance is included. You remain self-employed — setting your own standards, routines and charges — while we support the matching and admin side.

Overnight care can be waking (active support and monitoring) or sleeping nights (periodic checks with the possibility of intervention). You should be comfortable working independently, making sound decisions in the moment, and keeping clear records so families have peace of mind. Consett-based carers often cover short distances; you choose the service area you’ll accept.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days once we’ve verified documents and references. If you want to work more locally, you can limit requests to Consett only or expand into nearby places such as Stanley, Stockfield, Tow Law, Prudhoe, Wolsingham and Ryton. Many carers find this approach gives better work–life balance and clearer pay per hour than traditional agency nights.
