Description

Night-time care in Falkirk lets you support a client at home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. As a self-employed night carer you’ll provide companionship, check wellbeing, assist with personal care when needed, and manage medicines or equipment as agreed with the family and PrimeCarers. You’ll work in people’s own homes across Falkirk and the surrounding area, offering reliable overnight support tailored to each household.

Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who want to leave agency rotas and run their own service. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover — whether you prefer short, regular night calls or longer sleeping night arrangements. Typical pay is flexible and set by you: many carers charge within £17–£20 per hour. You can also list rates for hourly care and live-in day support using your profile: £18.80–£20 per hour and £140.50–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, issue contracts, manage invoicing and take care of payments. Insurance is included while you’re working on assignments arranged through the platform. You remain self-employed and in control of how you run your service.

If you already work around Falkirk, or in nearby towns such as Grahamston, Carron, Stenhousemuir, Larbert, Grangemouth and Bonnybridge, this platform helps you connect with families who need overnight help. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start being visible to local families quickly.

What we need from you

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

We’re looking for dependable, compassionate night carers who communicate clearly and respect people’s homes and routines. Your profile is your offer: describe your overnight experience, the sort of night work you prefer (waking nights, sleeping nights, or a mix), and any special skills such as dementia care or palliative support.

To apply, create a profile, upload your references and DBS (or request help arranging one) and complete verification. Once approved your profile will be visible to families across Falkirk and nearby communities, and you can begin choosing suitable overnight assignments.
