Description

If you’re an experienced carer who knows night work and wants to keep control of your life, PrimeCarers connects self‑employed overnight carers with families across Crawley and the surrounding area. You’ll support people in their own homes with waking or sleeping nights so families can rest, choosing the hours and clients that suit you.
Right now, 37 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care can involve sitting through the night with a client who needs reassurance, carrying out personal care at intervals, or being on call to respond to a change in need. Some shifts are waking nights where you remain alert; others are sleep‑in where you’re on site and available. The work suits carers who are calm, reliable and practised at managing risk and comfort through the night.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed and set your own rates. You’ll typically see rates around £17–£19.50 per hour depending on the match, the level of care and the hours. You choose your own clients, service area and working pattern, whether you prefer occasional nights or a regular roster in Crawley, parts of West Sussex and nearby towns such as Horley, Horsham, Cuckfield, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Reigate.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the admin: we prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means you can concentrate on caring and keep the flexibility of self‑employment without handling every piece of paperwork yourself.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t ask for long, complex forms — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We welcome experienced carers who are thinking of leaving agency rotas and want more control, steadier client matches and clearer paperwork.

If you value clear contracts, reliable pay runs, insurance while you work and the freedom to choose nights and locations within Crawley and nearby areas, PrimeCarers may be the right fit. You remain self‑employed, set your own rates and decide how many nights you take on.

Apply now to create your profile — it’s quick, and if everything checks out your profile can be live in days. Once live, families looking for overnight support in Crawley will be able to find and contact you directly.
