Many carers move to self-employed night work to get clearer control over their hours and income. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and accept the jobs that suit your experience and life. Typical pay for these roles is £17–£18.50 per hour, and you can choose which clients, hours and service area you work in. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who are confident working nights. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t ask you to give up your professional judgement — you remain self-employed and choose the care you deliver.

Typical night duties include supporting mobility, assisting with toileting, administering or prompting medication, observing and recording any changes, and providing companionship. Some nights are waking shifts; others are sleeping nights where you stay in the home and respond if needed. Exact duties are agreed between you and the family when you accept a client.

Working with PrimeCarers is straightforward. Create your profile, upload your documents and references, and we’ll verify you. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be able to see client requests in and around Ingatestone and nearby towns such as Billericay, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Ongar, Springfield and Wickford and decide which offers to accept.

Things we take care of for you: contracts, secure payments, invoicing and professional indemnity and public liability insurance for the time you’re working. You remain in control — you set your hourly rate, choose shifts that fit your life, and pick clients you feel comfortable supporting.
