Description

Night care in Greenock means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These ongoing self‑employed opportunities are for experienced carers who want more control over when and where they work across Greenock and wider Inverclyde. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight roles vary: some nights are active and involve personal care, medication checks, repositioning and companionship; others are sleeping‑in shifts where you stay in the home but are called on only if needed. This work suits carers who are confident, calm in the night, and used to making safe decisions on their own.

As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own hours, choose which clients you accept and define your service area. You set your own rates — many carers list within £15–£25 per hour — and PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you’re working through the platform.

Typical pay examples (for reference only): many overnight bookings show hourly ranges like £19–£22 per hour for waking nights and live‑in day rates shown as £145–£165 per day. How much you earn will depend on the hours, responsibilities and the rate you choose.

  • Who we’re looking for — at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references.
  • Where you’ll work — primarily in Greenock and across Inverclyde, with opportunities also covering Gourock, Helensburgh, Dunoon, Dumbarton, Kilbarchan and Largs.
  • How it fits — ideal if you’re tired of agency rotas and want more predictability and choice over nights.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your paperwork and references, and complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification so you can start being matched to bookings quickly. Remember: these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not a single advertised post.
