Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers in Dunston with families who need overnight support at home. Nights can be waking or sleeping shifts — you might support a person with personal care, medication prompts, or reassurance during the hours their family rests. Work is arranged around the client’s needs and your availability, so you can keep the control you want. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you're used to agency nights but want more control, this can be a practical change. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose which clients you’ll work with, and decide your hours and service area across Dunston and the surrounding parts of Lincolnshire, including Bracebridge, North Hykeham, Lincoln, Wragby, Coningsby and Sleaford. Typical pay for this kind of work is often in the range £17–£20 per hour; many carers set hourly or live‑in day rates that reflect their experience and the level of support required.

How shifts look varies: some clients need a waking night to support mobility or medication, others need a sleeping night with periodic checks. You remain self‑employed so you can accept only the assignments that suit you and your lifestyle. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — leaving you to focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you 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. You don’t need to commit to a fixed rota: many carers pick up occasional nights alongside other work, while others build a steady roster of regular night shifts across Dunston and nearby towns. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you want to leave the unpredictability of agency rotas but keep doing the meaningful night support you know how to provide, PrimeCarers is set up for that. Create a profile, set the rates and hours that work for you, and start seeing matches from families in Dunston and the wider Lincolnshire area.
