Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Jedburgh who need overnight support at home. Overnight care can be waking or sleeping nights, helping a client remain safely at home while relatives catch up on rest. You choose the clients, the hours and the area you cover in and around Jedburgh. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

What this work looks like varies: some families need a carer to stay awake and provide active support through the night; others need a trusted presence who sleeps in and is available if needed. Both kinds of overnight work are important and suit experienced carers who are confident handling personal care, medication prompts, moving and handling risks and providing calm, reliable companionship. Many carers from Jedburgh and the wider Scottish Borders enjoy the direct relationships they build with families and the continuity overnight work brings.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour, with separate ranges for hourly and live-in day arrangements shown as £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You decide which clients you accept, when you work and how far you’ll travel — many carers cover nearby towns such as Newtown St Boswells, Hawick, Kelso, Melrose, Selkirk and Earlston.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you are working with a client, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

How it works: create a profile, tell us about your experience and the nights you can cover, and set your hourly or live-in day rates. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once listed, families can find your profile and contact you directly; you always choose whether to accept a booking.

Overnight roles are ideal for carers who want control over their working patterns without agency rota constraints. If you’re based in Jedburgh or travel across the Scottish Borders and want to move away from agency shift-making while keeping professional support behind you, PrimeCarers can be a practical next step.

If this sounds like the change you’ve been looking for, creating a profile takes only a few minutes and we’ll guide you through verification and DBS support so you can start connecting with families quickly.
