Overnight Carer Jobs in Hemsworth

Work as an overnight carer in Hemsworth supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Nights can be waking shifts or sleeping nights where you remain on-site and provide support as needed. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you pick the clients, the hours and the area you work in around Hemsworth and beyond. Right now, 15 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight roles suit experienced carers who prefer predictable night work, want to avoid agency rota churn and value continuity of care. You might support a person with mobility needs, dementia or long-term conditions that require regular checks, personal care or prompt support through the night. Shifts often involve settling people, monitoring wellbeing, supporting medication at night and clear handovers in the morning.

Pay is set by you. Typical rates in the area vary; many carers advertise within £17–£18 per hour. For reference, common ranges include £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly nights and £145–£160 per day for live-in day cover. You choose which clients to accept and when to work, so you can balance night work with daytime commitments in Hemsworth, South Kirkby and beyond.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need support. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and provides insurance while you are working with a family.

Applying takes just minutes: create your profile, list your experience and availability, and upload references. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed at all times, setting your own rates and choosing the service area — whether you want to cover Hemsworth only or extend to nearby towns such as South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, Brierley, South Elmsall, Featherstone, Pontefract and Normanton.
