What overnight care looks like
Shifts can range from light monitoring and companionship to hands-on personal care and following an agreed night plan. You might provide reassurance, help with toileting or repositioning, complete simple observations and record-keeping, and follow any prescribed care plan. Each family’s needs differ; you choose the types of night work you want to do and the clients you’ll accept.

Who this suits
This is for experienced carers who want the control and clarity of being self-employed without the paperwork. If you’ve got at least a year of professional care experience, prefer the rhythm of night work, and want to escape agency shift-rosters, this could fit. Many carers who join from agency roles appreciate being able to pick nights that work for them and stay local to Dalkeith.

Pay and flexibility
