Overnight Carer Jobs in Heckmondwike

Overnight care you can fit around your life. PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Heckmondwike who need waking or sleeping nights in their own home. You decide if you want regular nights, occasional cover or a few long weekends; you choose clients, hours and how far you’ll travel. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role involves: supporting people through the night in their own home — helping with personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, supervising sleep, and staying alert for changes in condition. Shifts are bespoke to each household and often combine quiet periods with moments that require active support. These overnight roles suit carers who are used to working independently and making sound judgments during the night.

Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, with typical roles in the area showing £17–£18 per hour. You can accept only the nights and distances that work for you, and you control your availability. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Who we’re looking for: people with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll need the practical skills to keep someone safe at night and the maturity to work on your own in a family’s home. Many carers joining from agency work tell us they value the direct relationship with families and the extra control over their working life.

Areas covered: we’re recruiting for overnight care across Heckmondwike and nearby locations including Batley, Cleckheaton, Dewsbury, Mirfield, Morley and Ossett as families look for local, reliable night support in West Yorkshire.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Add your experience and references, upload (or request) an Enhanced DBS, and PrimeCarers will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification and you can begin reviewing client requests straight away. There’s no single advertised shift here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities you can pick from as they appear.
