This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single role. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their own clients, hours and service area; many carers work evenings and nights alongside other daytime commitments. Typical pay sits in the range £15–£25 per hour, with more detailed guidance shown as £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £142.50–£160 per day for live‑in day rates.

Overnight care often suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and a quieter shift pattern: if you like forming steady relationships, working one‑to‑one and delivering person‑centred support, overnight roles in Kelloholm could be a good fit.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check and verifiable references.

We also handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working with a client, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days.
