Description
Night care assistant roles in Criccieth are for experienced carers who want to support people at home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You could be helping with gentle checks, medication prompts, repositioning, personal care or quiet companionship — the exact duties depend on each client’s care plan and your chosen agreement. These roles are self-employed: you set your own rates and pick the clients, hours and service area that suit you. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers connects you with families around Criccieth and the surrounding area, including Porthmadog, Harlech, Pwllheli, Nefyn, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Ffestiniog. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Many carers switching from agency work find the flexibility and direct client relationships a better fit for their lifestyle.
Typical pay sits in the range £15–£25 per hour, though as a self-employed carer you choose your own rate. Some carers prefer short overnight waking shifts, others take longer sleeping nights or live-in night support; if you want to compare typical figures, check the hourly and live-in ranges on the platform: £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day.
Overnight work suits carers who are calm under pressure, experienced at assessing risks at night, and confident in moving and assisting clients safely. It also suits those who prefer predictable night hours and fewer daytime commitments. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one.
Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll verify your checks. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. When you’re ready, you choose which client offers to accept and which nights to work — no rota pressure from agencies.
