Night Care Assistant Jobs in Ely

Night care assistants on PrimeCarers support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families in Ely can rest. You might sit with someone who needs reassurance, provide personal care during the night, give medication prompts, or respond to alarms and position changes — the exact duties are agreed with the family and the person you support. Night roles suit experienced carers who want consistency, quieter hours, and the chance to build longer-term relationships without the rota churn of agency life.

Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer you set your own hours, choose the clients you accept and shape your service area across Ely and the surrounding parts of Cambridgeshire. Typical rates for night work are around £17–£19 per hour, but you decide what to charge and which nights to take. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you are working on a placement.

We’re looking for people with at least one year of professional care experience who want to move away from fixed rotas and agency constraints. To join you'll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have an Enhanced DBS, that's great; if not, we’ll support you through the process so you can get started quickly.

Roles vary: some are waking nights where you’ll be active and alert, others are sleeping nights where you'll be present and available to help if needed. You’ll agree tasks and expectations with each family so there are no surprises. Many carers on PrimeCarers combine nights with daytime or live-in work, or travel a small distance from Ely to towns such as Soham, Chatteris, Mildenhall, Northstowe, Newmarket and March.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and once live PrimeCarers will begin introducing suitable families. You remain self-employed at all times: you keep control over which shifts you accept, your working pattern and your rates.

If you’re an experienced carer in Ely who wants more control over nights, fewer shift surprises and straightforward admin support, PrimeCarers could be a good fit. Create your profile today and start choosing the night work that suits your life.
