Description

Overnight care in Egremont means supporting someone at home through the night so their family can rest. Roles vary from waking nights, where you remain alert and provide hands-on support, to sleeping nights where you stay in the home and respond if needed. You’ll be working with adults or older people in their own homes across Egremont and the surrounding area, including Orgill, Cleator Moor, Whitehaven, Workington, Cockermouth and Maryport in Cumbria and beyond.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This work suits experienced carers who want control and predictability without agency rota demands. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept and pick the hours and service area that suit your life. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour depending on the client and the shift type.

Night shifts can involve:

  • Personal care when required, such as assisting with toileting or transfers.
  • Medication checks and timely recording where needed.
  • Comfort and reassurance – being present, monitoring breathing and wellbeing, and supporting sleep routines.
  • Light household tasks that directly support the client’s comfort during the night.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less admin piling up at home and clearer, on-time payments for the nights you do. You remain self-employed: you choose who you work with and when.

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 ask for honesty about experience and availability so families can trust the match.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control and predictable nights in and around Egremont, PrimeCarers is built for that change. Applying takes minutes and once your ID, DBS and references are verified, profiles typically go live within days. You can start seeing suitable overnight roles across Egremont and nearby towns in Cumbria soon after.
