Night work suits experienced carers who prefer predictable stretches of time and want to avoid agency rotas. In Ilfracombe and around the local area you’ll find a range of ongoing care needs, from light monitoring to hands-on support overnight. Many carers choose to cover nearby towns such as Barnstaple, Northam, Lynton, Bideford, Great Torrington and South Molton, while keeping Ilfracombe as their main base. Working nights in Devon can be calmer and deeply rewarding for those who value continuity of care.

As a self-employed carer you set your own prices and pick the work that fits your life. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, with detailed ranges for different shift types shown on your profile: £15–£25 per hour for hourly night care and £145–£160 per day for live-in night-day arrangements. You choose waking or sleeping nights, which clients to accept and the hours you’ll do.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and looks after the paperwork: we handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
