Description

If you’re an experienced carer who prefers nights, PrimeCarers connects self-employed night care assistants with families in Deal and the surrounding area. Nights can be waking or sleeping shifts — supporting a client in their own home so families can rest. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single position. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Night work here ranges from quiet sitting nights to more active support. You might be checking on breathing, administering medication, supporting repositioning or assisting with personal care when needed. Many families want someone calm and experienced who can manage risk, recognise changes and communicate clearly with relatives and health professionals. If you already work nights with an agency but want more control over who you support and when, this model is designed for you.

As a PrimeCarers carer you’re self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £16.50–£20 per hour depending on the client and the duties. You can also see typical ranges for different ways of working: £19–£20 per hour for standard hourly nights and £148–£165 per day for live-in day arrangements. PrimeCarers finds clients, issues the contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working with a family.

These roles suit experienced carers who can work independently, are confident with night-time risk management and value quieter, more consistent nights. You’ll need 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 a DBS if you need one.

Most carers who join from Deal also cover nearby towns such as Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Minster, Broadstairs and St. Peters and travel around Kent when it suits them. You decide how far you’ll travel and which clients to accept. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable nights quickly.

We’re looking for steady, reliable people who want the independence of self-employed work without the admin headaches. If you want more control over your nights, clearer pay, and straightforward, trusted support from PrimeCarers, it’s easy to get started.
