Description
Overnight care in Dundee means supporting a person in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll provide companionship, safety checks, personal care when needed and practical support that keeps people independent at night. Many families want a reliable, experienced carer who can be trusted overnight; this page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than one specific role.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
The kind of nights you might do vary: waking nights involve active checks, assisting with mobility or personal care, documenting any changes and liaising with the family. Sleeping nights usually mean being available for reassurance or intervention while allowing the client and family to sleep. Where clinical tasks like medication administration are required, you should only accept shifts that match your training and competence.
If you’re considering a move away from agency rounds, PrimeCarers lets you work as a self‑employed carer, choose your own clients, hours and service area and set your own rates — typical ranges for this role are £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You’ll stay in control of your diary and the nights you accept.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check documents and references to protect families and carers alike.
These opportunities cover Dundee and nearby areas such as Newport on Tay, Woodhaven, Wormit, Tayport, Monifieth and Leuchars. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can begin seeing suitable night work quickly. Remember: these are ongoing, self‑employed opportunities — you choose which nights to accept and who you work with.
If you already work nights, or you’re used to one‑to‑one overnight support and want more control over your work and rates, this could be a good fit. Create your profile, show your experience and references, and start connecting with families in and around Dundee who need trusted overnight carers.
