Night Care Assistant Jobs in Dunwich

Night-time care in Dunwich is quieter, more focused and deeply rewarding. As a night care assistant you’ll support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest with confidence. These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want control over who they work for and when. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Most night shifts involve companionship, monitoring, personal care when needed and accurate record-keeping. Some nights are mainly observational sleeping nights; others are waking nights with active support. You’ll visit people in Dunwich and nearby areas, and you can choose the distance you’re willing to travel around Suffolk and beyond — for example to Southwold, Leiston, Halesworth, Saxmundham, Aldeburgh and Carlton Colville.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families, and you remain in control: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for these roles are £15–£25 per hour and you can set a rate within that or above, depending on your experience and the care required. For clarity, standard hourly and live-in ranges are shown on the platform as £15–£25 per hour and £148–£163.50 per day.

PrimeCarers handles the practical stuff so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, invoice and collect payments, and provide insurance while you are working with a family. You’ll invoice through the platform and receive payments without having to chase families directly.

Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who want to move away from agency rota pressure and build relationships with families at night. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help you arrange or update one if needed.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, list your experience and availability, upload references and your DBS if you have one. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can browse requests and accept the nights that suit you. There is no single advertised shift here — these are ongoing, self-employed opportunities across Dunwich and the surrounding Suffolk coast.
