Description
If you’re an experienced carer used to working nights and want more control, Hay on Wye families are looking for self‑employed night care assistants who can provide waking or sleeping nights in people’s own homes. You’ll support clients overnight so families can rest, with shifts that suit your life rather than the other way round. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
What the role involves: overnight care ranges from staying awake to provide regular checks and personal care through the night, to sleeping nights with the ability to respond when needed. You might be supporting someone after a recent discharge, helping with complex needs, or offering reassurance and safety for someone who prefers to remain at home in Hay on Wye. Night work often needs patience, good observation, and the confidence to work independently.
Who this suits: experienced carers who want to leave agency rotas and set their own terms. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one). Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical rates for night care fall in £17–£20 per hour with finer ranges shown as £19.20–£20.90 per hour for hourly nights and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day equivalents.
How PrimeCarers helps: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care and family time, not paperwork. The application takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can accept the shifts that fit your life and turn down anything that doesn’t.
Location and travel: most work is in and around Hay on Wye and the surrounding Powys area, including nearby towns such as Talgarth, Kington, Old Radnor, Llangors, Builth Wells and Brecon. You decide how far you’ll travel when you set your service area.
How to apply: create your profile, add your experience and references, and indicate you’re available for nights. We’ll run a quick verification and, once approved, your profile goes live — many carers start seeing enquiries within days.
If you’re ready for night work that fits your life and pays what you choose, join other Hay on Wye carers on PrimeCarers and take back control of your nights.
