These ongoing self‑employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control than agency life typically offers. You choose which clients you work with, your hours and your service area. You set your own rates — many carers price within £17.30–£18.50 per hour — and PrimeCarers handles the matching, contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

The practical tasks you may be asked to carry out overnight depend on each client's needs. Typical duties include quiet observation, supporting mobility, prompting or administering medication where agreed, recording events, liaising with family members and responding to emergencies. You may work waking nights (active support through the shift) or sleeping nights (being on‑site and available). Every assignment is different; you pick the ones that suit you and your skills.
