This kind of work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and the quieter rhythm of night shifts. Nights can be steady, focused work where your skill and judgement make a real difference. Many carers who move from agency roles keep the stability of regular clients while gaining control over hours, rates and who they accept in Kingsbridge and nearby towns such as Sherford, Salcombe, Modbury, Ivybridge, Dartmouth and Totnes.
Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical roles in the area fall around £17–£20 per hour depending on duties and whether a night is sleeping or waking. You choose clients, hours and your service area, so you can prioritise the evenings and nights that suit you.
