Description
If you’re an experienced carer in Diss looking to move away from agency routines, overnight work through PrimeCarers could give you the control and respect you want. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities supporting people in their own homes with waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll choose the clients you work with, the hours you do and the area you cover, and you set your own rates — typical rates are £20.20–£25 per hour.
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night duties vary: some clients need a carer awake for checks, medication or personal care; others need a carer to sleep in and respond if called. You’ll see clear briefings on every assignment so you know whether a night is waking, sleeping, or mixed. This role suits carers who are confident working independently, comfortable with lone working at night and skilled in observation, medication support and compassionate companionship. Many carers switching from agency work appreciate the quieter, relationship-focused nature of nights.
Pay and flexibility: as self-employed carers on PrimeCarers you set your hourly rate and can accept or decline any assignment. Typical ranges you’ll see on the platform include £19–£23.50 per hour for hourly nights and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates where applicable. PrimeCarers takes care of finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re working with a client.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed, so you manage your tax and National Insurance — we’ll give guidance and clear paperwork to make that easier.

Tax is yours to sort out
