Description
Night-time care in Haddington helps families rest while a skilled carer supports someone in their own home. These roles cover waking or sleeping nights: you may be up and active through the night, or available to sleep in and respond when needed. Work is local to Haddington and the surrounding communities of East Lothian, with options that suit people who prefer to work evenings and nights. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This platform is built for experienced carers who want more control. You join as self-employed, choose your own clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates — many opportunities sit within £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers introduces you to families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less admin and more time focusing on care in Haddington and nearby towns.
Night care work commonly includes regular checks, supporting comfort and safe sleep, gentle personal care when required, offering reassurance and companionship and monitoring wellbeing so families can sleep. Some nights are quieter; others need more active support. These roles suit carers who are calm, observant and confident working alone in someone’s home, and who value continuity of care for the people they support.
Requirements to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
