Description
PrimeCarers is looking for experienced night care assistants to support people in their own homes across Dumbarton and the surrounding areas. You would provide waking or sleeping nights—helping with personal care, medication prompts, mobility support and reassurance so families can rest knowing someone skilled is on hand.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night work suits carers who prefer quieter hours, steady one-to-one support and the chance to build longer-term relationships with clients. Some nights will be hands-on: assisting with personal care, repositioning, catheter or PEG support where trained, and supporting mobility. Other nights will be primarily observation and reassurance, completing clear notes and checking on wellbeing. We’re looking for people who are calm, observant and used to taking responsibility overnight in a private home setting in Dumbarton and across West Dunbartonshire.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical rates for these roles are £17–£17.80 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work—so you can focus on care, not admin.
What we need from you: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll be expected to agree clear terms with each family and keep accurate records of night visits.
Many carers join PrimeCarers because they want to move away from agency rota pressures and take control of their work. You decide when you’re available for nights in Dumbarton and nearby towns such as Clydebank, Kilbarchan, Helensburgh, Johnstone, Greenock and Paisley. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing opportunities quickly.
PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, contract paperwork and payment processing. Insurance is included while you’re working on a booking arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed throughout—free to accept or decline any request, choose shift patterns and set terms with each family.
