Night Care Assistant Jobs in Guildford

Night-time care in somebody's own home makes a tangible difference: you’ll provide waking or sleeping nights so families in Guildford can rest, and you’ll do it on your terms as a self-employed carer. These are ongoing opportunities across Guildford and the surrounding area — work that suits experienced, dependable people who want to move away from agency shift lists and take control of the clients they accept. Right now, 34 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical night duties include regular checks, personal care when needed, prompting medication, repositioning and company through the night. Some roles are waking nights; others are sleeping nights with planned checks. All work is in clients’ homes within Guildford and nearby towns such as Godalming, Gomshall, Ripley, Woking, Castle Green and Aldershot. You’ll be choosing the clients, hours and service area that fit you, and setting your own rates — many carers work to £17–£20 per hour depending on experience and the client’s needs.

This work suits confident carers with at least a year’s professional experience who prefer consistent overnight shifts and close one-to-one support. You’ll be self-employed, so you manage your own tax and schedule, but PrimeCarers takes care of finding suitable families, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance cover while you work. Shifts vary by household — we’re advertising ongoing opportunities rather than single roles — so you can build a night-care pattern that fits your life in Guildford and across Surrey.

To join you’ll need: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If your DBS needs renewing, we can guide you through the process. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be matching with local families quickly.

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control — predictable nights, direct arrangements with families, and the freedom to choose rates and clients — this could be the next step. You decide the geography you cover around Guildford, the pattern of waking or sleeping nights you prefer, and the clients you accept. PrimeCarers manages the back office so you focus on care.
