Description
Overnight care in Kelty puts experienced carers where they’re needed most: supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. Shifts vary from light waking support to full night-time assistance and are ideal for carers who want responsibility, continuity and the chance to build close relationships in Kelty and the surrounding area.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These ongoing, self-employed opportunities suit someone with practical overnight experience who prefers the freedom to choose who they work for. You’ll set your own availability and decide whether to take single nights, recurring nights or longer-term live-in arrangements. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour for overnight care; day live-in work is commonly within £140–£160 per day. Many carers on PrimeCarers set their rates within £17–£19 per hour depending on experience and the support required.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the administrative side: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you’re working through the platform. That means you can focus on the care itself — supporting someone through the night, assisting with medication prompts, repositioning, or being a calm presence while families sleep. You remain fully self-employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area, whether you want to cover Kelty only or work across nearby towns such as Cowdenbeath, Benarty, Lochgelly, Ballingry, Dunfermline and Kinross in Fife.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t yet have one.
- Minimum experience: 1 year of professional care
- Checks: Enhanced DBS (we can assist)
- Other: Right to work in the UK and verifiable references

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over pay, who you support and how you balance night work with daytime life, this could be the right next step.

Overnight care — common questions
Overnight care covers both waking nights (active support through the night) and sleeping nights (on-site support, responding if needed). Tasks vary by client and are agreed before you start, but the focus is always on safety, comfort and enabling families to rest.
You set your own rates and availability. Many carers consider the complexity of needs, travel and whether a night is waking or sleeping when choosing a rate. PrimeCarers lists typical ranges to guide you but the final rate is your choice.
We find clients, prepare contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work through the platform. That reduces paperwork so you can focus on care.
You need a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
Applying takes minutes and, once your checks are verified, profiles usually go live within days. After that you can begin accepting suitable overnight work in Kelty and nearby towns.
