Description
Overnight care in Dolgellau means supporting people in their own homes overnight so families can rest. You could be providing waking night support — responding to needs through the night — or sleeping nights where you remain on-site and ready to help. Roles suit experienced carers who want to work independently in and around Dolgellau, including visits out towards Llanfachreth, Barmouth, Machynlleth, Harlech, Tywyn and Porthmadog. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing, self-employed opportunity rather than one fixed post. As a PrimeCarers carer you choose your own clients, hours and service area; you also set your own rates and keep control of your work-life balance. Typical rates for overnight care are £15–£25 per hour depending on the client and responsibilities. PrimeCarers finds introductions, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
Overnight work suits carers who are steady, observant and calm under pressure. Many experienced carers move from agency rotas to self-employed overnight work to gain regular nights with the same households and clearer control over which clients they accept. You’ll often be providing personal care, monitoring, medication prompts and companionship, plus good record-keeping at night. Work takes place in people’s own homes across Dolgellau and the surrounding area of Powys.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will guide you through verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We do not promise specific shifts or income — you choose which opportunities to accept and set your hourly terms.
If you’re an experienced carer in Dolgellau or elsewhere in Powys and want to take control of your nights while still having administrative support, creating a profile is the next step. You’ll be able to state your availability for waking or sleeping nights, set your rates and begin receiving introductions to families looking for reliable overnight support.
