Night Care Assistant Jobs in Hadleigh

Overnight care in Hadleigh means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be working with clients who prefer familiar surroundings and need respectful, experienced hands-on help — personal care, medication prompts, observation and companionship overnight. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Hadleigh and nearby towns including Manningtree, Ipswich, Needham Market, Sudbury, Stowmarket and Elmstead. You choose the nights you want, the clients you accept and how far you travel. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and decide whether they prefer waking nights or sleeping nights. Typical pay falls around £17–£17.80 per hour, with common ranges shown as £19–£20 per hour for hourly care and £148–£163.50 per day for live-in day rates (your actual rate is set by you).

Who this suits: experienced care workers used to agency shifts who want more control. If you’re used to night work, comfortable working independently, and want to build relationships with families rather than rotating through short shifts, this could be a better fit. Hadleigh carers often find the role rewarding when they can see the same client week after week and tailor support overnight to real needs.

PrimeCarers takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We match you with families, handle contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and include insurance while you are working on a booked shift. You remain self-employed and in control — you set your rate, choose clients and confirm hours.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes. Build your profile, upload your documents and references, and we verify everything — profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review nearby requests in Hadleigh and across Suffolk, accept the nights that suit you and start working under PrimeCarers' arrangements.

If you value predictable admin, clear payment through the platform and insurance while working, switching from agency nights to self-employed overnight care could give you better autonomy and a quieter way to manage your workload.
