Description

Work overnight in Keynsham supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. These roles cover waking nights or sleeping nights — you decide which you offer — and they suit experienced, reliable carers who want more control than agency life. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients and pick the hours and service area that suit you. Many carers in and around Keynsham prefer this approach because it lets them balance work with family, study or other commitments while keeping professional independence. Typical rates for this kind of work are £17–£22.50 per hour.

The night care role itself usually involves companionship, reassurance, prompt assistance with personal care if needed, medication checks, and observing wellbeing through the night. Some clients need a waking night where you remain alert; others require a sleeping night where you stay in the home and respond to calls. You’ll be supporting people in Keynsham and nearby communities across South Gloucestershire and beyond, including areas such as Kingswood, Bath, Filton, Bradley Stoke, Patchway and Norton Radstock.

This work suits carers who have at least one year of professional care experience, a calm and observant nature, and good communication with families. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover for the time you work with a client.

Choosing night care through PrimeCarers means flexibility: you pick the shifts you want, accept only the clients you feel are a good fit, and update your availability as your life changes. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be matched quickly with families in Keynsham and the surrounding towns.

  • What you’ll need: minimum 1 year of professional care experience, Enhanced DBS (we can help), right to work in the UK, and references.
  • What we handle: client introductions, contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while you work.
  • Flexible working: choose waking or sleeping nights, set your availability and your rates.
