Description
Spend your nights providing calm, practical support to people who prefer to sleep in their own home. Night care on PrimeCarers covers both waking and sleeping shifts—checking in, assisting with personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, and being a reassuring presence so families can rest. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These roles suit experienced carers in Kinglassie who want more control over how, when and where they work. As a self‑employed care assistant you set your own availability, choose which clients you accept and set your own rates. Typical pay for night care falls in the range £17–£19 per hour, and you can pick the hours and service area that fit your life.
PrimeCarers takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working with a client. You remain self‑employed and free to work as much or as little as you like in Kinglassie and across Fife.
To join we ask for:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience;
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you don’t have a current one);
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references;
- A commitment to professional, compassionate night support.
Night care work here varies from short sleeping nights where you remain on call, to waking nights that include regular checks, personal care and supporting mobility. Many carers who move from agency work like the greater autonomy: you can avoid fixed rotas, choose jobs around family life, and build longer‑term relationships with clients in Kinglassie and nearby areas such as Pitcoudie, Collydean, Ballingry, Glenrothes, Lochgelly and Markinch.
Applying takes minutes and your profile will typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers supports the paperwork and practical setup so you can start offering night care quickly and professionally across Kinglassie and the wider Fife area.

Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
