Overnight Carer Jobs in Hailsham

Night-time care in Hailsham means supporting someone in their own home so families can sleep easy. Overnight roles can be waking nights or sleeping nights — you’ll help with dignity, medication checks, pressure relief, reassurance and any practical support needed through the night. You’ll work directly with families, often in Hailsham itself or nearby towns, and you choose the clients and hours that suit you.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who prefer the calm of night shifts and the independence of self-employed practice. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you set your own rates and decide which clients to accept. Typical pay for overnight care varies by role and responsibility: expect rates in the region of £17–£18 per hour. For clarity, many carers use £19–£20.10 per hour for hourly night shifts and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates when they negotiate with families.

PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, invoice and collect payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your service area and working hours, and accept the roles that fit. Many carers joining us from agency work value the flexibility and clearer relationships with families across Hailsham and the wider East Sussex area.

To join you'll need 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. You’ll be asked to complete a short profile and upload checks — applying takes minutes, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. We encourage honest, up-to-date references and clear communication about your availability and skills.
