Description
Night care roles in Dereham are for experienced carers who want to work nights — waking or sleeping shifts supporting a client in their own home so families can rest. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities: you pick the clients and hours that suit you while working in and around Dereham, often covering parts of Norfolk as well.
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
What the work involves varies by household. Some nights are active, supporting mobility, medication or personal care; others are light, monitoring and being onsite so a family member can sleep. You will be working with adults in their own homes, providing continuity of care and calm overnight support. This role suits someone who is comfortable working independently, who values clear communication with families, and who prefers predictable night work rather than day shifts.
As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own terms — your rate, your hours and the service area you cover. Typical rates for these roles are £15–£25 per hour and you choose which clients to accept. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain self‑employed and manage your bookings directly through the platform.
To join 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 one if needed). Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can decide to work regularly around Dereham or pick nights close to Hingham, Watton, Reepham, Wymondham, Swaffham and Fakenham.
PrimeCarers is aimed at carers who want to move away from agency rota pressure and regain control over when and where they work. You’ll get more say over your work/life balance, clearer handovers with families, and the chance to build long‑term overnight support arrangements. If you’re used to night work and want to keep doing it on your own terms, this is a straightforward way to advertise your availability to local families and manage bookings without the admin burden.
Ready to join? Create your profile in minutes, upload references and experience, and we’ll start matching you with families looking for night care in Dereham and nearby towns. You remain in charge of dates, hours and which bookings you accept.
