Overnight work suits experienced carers who are calm, observant and confident working solo. Typical tasks include checking breathing and mobility, supporting toileting and transfers, administering agreed care tasks and keeping clear records for the family. You’ll be working in clients’ own homes in Houghton Regis and neighbouring towns such as Dunstable, Woodside, Leighton Buzzard, Linslade, Flitwick and Woburn in Bedfordshire.
Pay and flexibility: as a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the hours you want. Typical rates for overnight care fall in £17–£20 per hour. You can list both hourly nights and live-in day rates on your profile using £18.80–£21 per hour and £145–£160 per day where relevant. Many carers move from agency rotas to PrimeCarers for the greater control over income and work-life balance.
What PrimeCarers handles: we find you clients, draw up contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you are working with a client. That means less admin for you and more time focused on care.
Who can join: you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll be self-employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
