Description
Overnight carers on PrimeCarers support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll work directly for the families you choose, covering brief checks, companionship, personal support and responding to needs through the night in and around Hinckley. Right now, 15 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These roles suit experienced carers who want to keep doing quality, person-centred care without agency rules. Nights can be waking shifts — active care through the night — or sleep-in shifts where you’re present and available. Tasks vary by client but commonly include safety checks, supporting mobility, prompting medication where required, assisting with personal care and keeping good records for families. If you already work nights in Hinckley or nearby towns you’ll find the flexibility useful whether you want occasional nights or regular rounds.
Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients to accept. Typical rates for overnight roles show as £17–£18.10 per hour; more detail is shown for common shift types — hourly night work usually sits in £18.50–£20 per hour and live-in day rates are typically £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care and on setting the hours that suit you.
Who can apply: To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many carers join PrimeCarers after working for agencies because they want more control over hours, clients and earnings — if you’re based in Hinckley, elsewhere in Leicestershire or towns nearby such as Earl Shilton, Nuneaton, Camp Hill, Market Bosworth, Bedworth and Atherstone this could be a good fit.
Signing up takes minutes online. Once your documents are verified your profile typically goes live within days, and you’ll start receiving client introductions. We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across Hinckley and the wider area rather than a single post, so you can pick the work that fits your life.
