This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Hamilton and wider South Lanarkshire. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. Many carers coming to PrimeCarers are experienced professionals leaving agency routines and looking for more control over when and where they work. Overnight shifts often suit people who want concentrated hours and reliable routines.

Pay and flexibility are set by you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical night work falls within £17–£20 per hour depending on responsibilities and whether nights are waking or sleeping. For reference, daytime hourly care usually sits in £18.80–£20 per hour and live-in day rates are commonly around £142.50–£160 per day. You decide what to charge and which offers to accept.

The platform makes the practical side simple. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care rather than admin. Applying takes minutes and verified profiles typically go live within days of checks.

  • Who this suits — experienced carers comfortable with night-time routines, observation, personal care and occasional medicine prompting. Ideal if you want to work locally in Hamilton, or nearby towns such as Motherwell, Bellshill, East Kilbride, Coatbridge, Airdrie and Rutherglen.
  • What you’ll do — provide waking or sleeping night support in someone’s own home: reassure, assist with personal care when needed, observe and report, and keep the household safe so families can sleep.
  • Requirements — 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.

Shifts vary and are agreed between you and the client. PrimeCarers is here to support agreements, payments and cover while you work, but you remain self-employed and in control of your hours. If you are ready to change how you work in Hamilton and across South Lanarkshire, creating a profile only takes a few minutes and can open up regular overnight work within days.
