Description

Night support in someone’s own home can make the difference between a family getting a proper night’s rest and staying on edge. As an overnight carer in Helston you’ll provide waking or sleeping nights: checking on comfort and safety, assisting with medication or personal care as agreed, and being a calm presence so families can sleep. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

These opportunities are ongoing and flexible — you remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose clients, hours and the area you work in. PrimeCarers finds you suitable clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers who’ve moved to this way of working appreciate the control over their diary and the clearer admin that comes with it.

Typical overnight roles suit experienced carers who are confident working independently, notice small changes, and can work a quiet night while being ready to respond should the client need help. You might cover waking nights where active checks and hands-on support are required, or sleeping nights where you’re on-call and ready to assist. Work is with adults in their own homes across Helston and nearby areas such as Porthleven, Camborne, Marazion, Hayle, Penryn and Redruth in Cornwall.

Pay is set by you in line with your experience and the level of support required; typical rates for these roles are £15–£25 per hour. You’ll decide which clients and shifts to accept, whether you prefer occasional nights, block bookings or regular overnight work.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will verify your documents and references — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a short profile, list your experience and availability, and state any specialist skills (dementia care, PEG feeding, catheter care etc.). You remain free to accept or decline any client introductions we make, and to agree terms directly with the family through the platform.
