Description
Work as a self-employed overnight carer in Fakenham, providing waking or sleeping-night support in people’s own homes so families can rest. These are ongoing, flexible opportunities for experienced carers who want more control over the nights they take on and who they work with. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Overnight work varies from gently supporting someone through the night to being alert for needs, offering reassurance, prompting medication where required and helping with personal care if it becomes necessary. Some shifts are waking nights, others are sleeping nights with regular checks — the exact responsibilities are agreed between you and the family. Nights suit experienced carers who are calm, reliable and used to working independently in a home setting.
PrimeCarers connects you directly with families in Fakenham and across the surrounding area. You stay self-employed, set your own rates and decide which clients, hours and parts of Norfolk you’ll cover. Typical pay for this kind of role is around £15–£25 per hour, and you can raise or lower your rates to reflect your experience and the level of support needed.
We take care of finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance while you work through the platform. That means you focus on care rather than admin. If you’re used to agency nights but want more control over who you work for and when, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families around Fakenham and nearby towns such as Wells next the Sea, Dereham, Holt, Reepham, Swaffham and Hunstanton.
If you value flexibility, clearer paperwork and the chance to build lasting relationships with families, overnight care through PrimeCarers could be the right move. Create your profile, upload your references and let families come to you — you remain self-employed, choose your nights and we manage the rest.
