Description
Night-time care in Fowey is about giving families the rest they need while you provide calm, professional support. You may do waking nights—offering active assistance through the hours—or sleeping nights, staying nearby and responding when needed. These roles are carried out in people's own homes across Fowey and the local area; you’ll support people so families can sleep knowing someone experienced is there. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform connecting self-employed carers with families looking for overnight help. As a self-employed Night Care Assistant you set your own rates, choose who you work with and decide when and where you cover. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, with more detail available for specific hourly or live-in arrangements: £15–£25 per hour and £148.50–£170 per day. You’ll keep control of your diary while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on a booking arranged through the platform.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who value autonomy. If you’re used to agency shifts but want to pick your clients, protect your work-life balance and keep your experience at the centre of how you work, overnight care could be a good fit. Nights often require excellent observational skills, a calm manner, and the ability to manage personal care, medication prompts and simple record-keeping. You’ll need to be confident working independently and communicating clearly with families.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll remain self-employed—PrimeCarers does not employ you—but provides practical support with client introductions, paperwork and payment flow so you can focus on care.
Opportunities are available across Fowey and nearby towns including Par, St Blazey, Lostwithiel, Charlestown, St Austell and Looe. Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification, so you can be matching with local families quickly. If you value respect, clear terms and the flexibility to set your own hours, explore night care work in Fowey through PrimeCarers.
