Description

Night care in Killamarsh means supporting a person in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll work one-to-one with clients to provide safety, comfort and reassurance between the hours they need support. Many carers choose this role for the steady, focused work and the chance to build closer relationships with people in Killamarsh and the wider area.
Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families while taking care of the admin. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. Many local roles fall within £17–£18 per hour depending on needs and experience.

Night care can be waking nights—actively supporting with personal care, medications, moving and monitoring—or sleeping nights where you remain on-call and check in regularly. Typical tasks may include gentle mobility assistance, toileting or continence support, medication prompts, brief personal care, observation, and written handovers for day teams. You won’t be asked to work beyond your agreed duties; shifts are arranged between you and the family.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want away from labels and rota churn: people who value autonomy, reliable handovers, and direct relationships with families in Killamarsh, Eckington, Netherthorpe, Barrow Hill and Whittington, Anston, Dinnington and Bolsover — or nearby locations you prefer. If you want predictable nights, fewer different clients and to control your diary, night care can fit well in your life in South Yorkshire.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers will support you through checks and the onboarding process so you can start matching with families quickly.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. You’re self-employed, so you set the hourly charge and choose which nights to accept. Typical ranges for different assignments are shown below for guidance only:

  • Nightly awake or on-call care: £18.80–£20 per hour
  • Live-in day rates (where applicable): £145–£160 per day
