Night Care Assistant Jobs in Derby

Night work in Derby that actually fits your life. PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who need waking or sleeping nights in their own homes — so relatives can rest knowing someone skilled is on hand. You’ll support people with personal care, reassurance, medication prompts and gentle monitoring through the night, working with families across Derby and the surrounding area. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Derby and nearby towns, not one specific role. As a PrimeCarers carer you choose your clients, the hours you take and the area you cover — many carers work nights in Derby city, the suburbs or in nearby communities such as Willington, Hazelwood, Belper, Melbourne, Ilkeston and Sandiacre. You set your own rates and availability, so £17–£20 per hour can reflect the nights you prefer and the level of care you provide.

Typical night work varies: some shifts are waking nights, providing active support and regular checks; others are sleeping nights with periodic welfare checks. You’ll often be responsible for companionship, personal care during the night, safe transfers where required and reporting any changes to the family or health professionals. Nights suit carers who are calm under pressure, organised and able to work independently in a home setting. If you’re leaving agency work for more control over your time and pay, nights can be particularly rewarding.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find suitable clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We do not require you to accept any shifts you don’t want — you remain self-employed and in control.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile usually goes live within days. From there you can review clients, message families and accept nights that suit you. If you want reliable night work across Derbyshire and the city, with the freedom to set your rates and choose your clients, PrimeCarers makes the process straightforward and supportive.
