Night Care Assistant Jobs in Duns

If you have experience providing overnight care and want more control over who you work with, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Duns and the Scottish Borders. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes on waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Night work can be quiet, focused and hugely valuable. Some nights are light-checks and companionship, others involve personal care, medication prompts, pressure-area checks or assistance with transfers. You’ll be choosing the level of support you offer and the clients you accept — whether you prefer short regular shifts or longer live-in nights. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, with details like £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £142–£160 per day for live-in day rates available on profiles.

This arrangement suits experienced carers who want to leave agency rota pressure behind. If you value predictable paperwork, PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you — and provides insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep control of how you work locally, including around communities such as Greenlaw, Coldstream, Eyemouth, Kelso, Berwick upon Tweed and Earlston.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly so most profiles go live within days of submission. Applying takes minutes and is designed to get experienced carers working without unnecessary delay.

How it works in practice: you create a profile that highlights your overnight experience, choose the shifts you want, and families contact you directly through the platform. PrimeCarers supports the agreement and payment process so you can focus on caring. You’ll be free to accept or decline enquiries, set travel limits and block out dates when you’re unavailable.

We’re looking for reliable, respectful carers who can work safely on their own during the night. If you’re used to assessing risk, keeping clear records and communicating with families and health professionals, overnight care can be a flexible and rewarding part of your work.

If you’d like to start, create your profile today. It takes just a few minutes and most carers are ready to accept nights within days of verification.
