Description
Provide overnight care in clients' own homes across Grangetown and the Vale of Glamorgan, helping families get the rest they need. You can work waking nights or sleeping nights, offering companionship, personal care, medication prompting and gentle monitoring — whatever each household needs to sleep easier. You’ll be part of the local support network while keeping control of how you work and who you support.
Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing self-employed work rather than a single role: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area, and can accept only the night shifts that suit them. Typical rates for these roles are £17–£19.20 per hour; you decide where in that range your time and experience sit. PrimeCarers finds you clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.
Overnight care in Grangetown often includes:
- Waking-night duties such as personal care, turning, repositioning and regular checks.
- Sleeping-night support where you remain on-site and available for calls or assistance.
- Record-keeping, handovers and clear communication with families and visiting professionals.
This work suits experienced carers who value predictability overnight and want more control than traditional agency rounds. If you currently work nights for an agency and want to set your own hours, or if you prefer to take only a few regular clients, PrimeCarers supports that choice. You might cover Grangetown and Penarth, Barry, Llantrisant, Cowbridge, Pontypridd and Weston super Mare depending on your preferred service area.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is also required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one. We will verify documents and references before your profile goes live.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. From there you can review client details, agree terms directly and start accepting nights that suit you — with invoicing and payments handled for you so you can focus on care.
