Night Care Assistant Jobs in Dunbar

Provide vital overnight support to families across Dunbar and nearby communities. These self-employed night care assistant roles cover waking and sleeping nights in a client's own home — you’ll help someone stay safe, comfortable and settled while families rest. You choose whether you do waking nights (active support through the shift) or sleeping nights (on-call with periodic checks).
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Work around Dunbar, North Berwick and other towns in the area, offering continuity of care that really matters. Many carers who move from agency work value being able to pick the clients and hours that fit their life in East Lothian, keeping the human side of care front and centre.

PrimeCarers connects you with families looking for ongoing overnight support. Carers on the platform are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for night care falls within £15–£25 per hour depending on duties and whether a night is waking or sleeping. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you’re booked to work.

These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who want control and stability without the rota shuffle. You’ll be spending nights in a service user’s home, so punctuality, observational skill and respectful communication are essential. Many nights involve personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, or providing reassurance and companionship. Each booking is arranged with the client’s needs and your preferences in mind.

To join you must have at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed, free to accept or decline any bookings that don’t suit.

If you live in Dunbar or nearby — such as North Berwick, Haddington, Ballencrieff, Anstruther, Pittenweem and Duns — and want overnight work that fits your life, this could be the next step. Create a profile, choose the nights you want, and work directly with families while PrimeCarers handles the paperwork and payments.
