Overnight Carer Jobs in Doncaster

If you already work nights or are used to supporting people at home, overnight care in Doncaster gives you the chance to work with families who need reliable waking or sleeping-night support so they can rest. You’ll help with personal care, medication checks, reassurance and moving between rooms where needed, all in the client’s own home. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want to leave agency rotas behind and be in control. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and your service area across Doncaster and the surrounding pockets of South Yorkshire, including Edlington, Conisbrough, Tickhill, Stainforth, Mexborough and Askern. You’ll be selecting ongoing opportunities rather than a one-off post.

Overnight shifts commonly involve either waking nights, where you remain alert and active through the shift, or sleeping nights, where you rest in the home while remaining available to respond. Tasks vary by client but often include bedside checks, comfort and reassurance, helping with toileting or transfers, recording care notes and liaising with family members.

Set your own hourly rate and keep control of your earnings — typical rates on the platform are around £17–£18 per hour. You choose which clients and shift patterns suit you, whether you prefer regular nights with one household or shorter ad-hoc nights in different homes.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
• The right to work in the UK.
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.

PrimeCarers handles the legwork so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
