Description

If you’re an experienced carer who prefers nights and wants more control over work, PrimeCarers connects self-employed night care assistants with families in Eyemouth and the surrounding area. Nights can be waking or sleeping support in someone’s own home — you help families rest while you provide safe, respectful care for the person they love.

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

Night work suits carers who are calm, observant and confident supporting personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, and companionship through the late hours. You’ll often be working alone in a client’s home, so the ability to make sensible decisions, record observations clearly and communicate with families is essential. These roles are available across Eyemouth and nearby towns including Berwick upon Tweed, Duns, Coldstream, Greenlaw, Dunbar and Wooler, and across the Scottish Borders where demand for overnight support is steady.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates sit around £15–£25 per hour and you can decide night patterns that fit your life. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You won’t be tied to shifts or rota rules — you negotiate directly with families about the support they need.

To join we ask for 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’ll need to be comfortable with overnight responsibilities and the paperwork that keeps clients safe. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start connecting with families quickly.

If you’re used to agency nights but want clearer control over when you work and who you support, PrimeCarers gives you the admin backing without taking away your independence. Create a profile, share your experience and availability, and choose only the clients and nights you want to accept. Families in Eyemouth trust carers who can bring experience and compassion to overnight care — if that sounds like you, it’s worth a few minutes to apply.
