Description

Overnight care in Fishguard means supporting someone in their own home during the night so families and unpaid carers can rest. That can be waking nights—active support and checks—or sleeping nights where you respond if needed. You’ll work with people who prefer to remain at home in Fishguard and across Pembrokeshire, and you’ll decide the hours that suit you. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not a single role. PrimeCarers is built for carers who want to leave agency tiers behind and take control. You’ll be self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, your hours and your service area. To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Overnight work varies by client, but typically includes checking comfort and safety, supporting repositioning, assisting with toileting or personal care as needed, following medication instructions in the client’s care plan, and recording what happened during the night. You may provide waking support—regular checks and active assistance—or sleeping cover where you remain on site and respond if required. Good communication with families and accurate notes are important; the work suits experienced, calm carers who can manage responsibility independently.

Pay and practical support: as a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates. Typical roles fall in the range £15–£25 per hour, and you can choose between hourly nights and live‑in day arrangements using the following guidelines: £15–£25 per hour for hourly night care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day work. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working via the platform — so you can focus on the care. You remain in control of who you work with and when.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, provide your checks and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you’re based in Fishguard or travel around nearby towns such as Goodwick, Haverfordwest, St Davids, Cardigan, Narberth and Milford Haven, joining lets you pick the nights that fit your life. If you want night work that fits around daytime commitments and gives you more autonomy, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started.
