Description

Build a sustainable night-care routine in Fulbourn supporting people in their own homes — waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix — so families can rest. You’ll work directly for families as a self-employed carer, choosing the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care can include supporting someone with medication prompts, personal care, moving safely between bed and chair, or being present for reassurance and monitoring. Shifts vary: some people need full waking nights, others need a dependable sleeping presence with occasional checks. Work often covers Fulbourn and nearby areas across Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge, Newmarket, Northstowe, Saffron Walden, Haverhill and Soham.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose when to accept work. Typical ranges are shown on the platform: £17.30–£18.89 per hour; for comparison you may also see £19.20–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day work. Remember that as self-employed you invoice through PrimeCarers, which handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who value steady night work and autonomy. You’ll be heading out as a trusted professional, often working alone in a client’s home, so strong observation, good communication with families and safe moving-and-handling skills are essential. If you’ve done at least a year of professional care, you’re already on the path to joining us.

What PrimeCarers provides: we find families looking for overnight support, manage contracts and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed — set your rates, choose the shifts you accept and the areas you’ll travel to. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join we ask for: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need). You’ll also confirm the scope of care you can provide so families can make an informed choice.
