Description
Work overnight in Kington supporting people to stay safe and comfortable at home. These roles cover waking or sleeping nights: you might be up for personal care, medication prompts or moving and handling, or you may provide quiet, attentive sleeping-night support so family members can rest. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Kington and the surrounding area, not a single advertised post. You choose which clients, hours and service area suit you — many carers cover Kington itself and nearby towns such as Old Radnor, Presteigne, Knighton, Hay on Wye, Leominster and Cefnllys. You can pick waking or sleeping nights, short block bookings or regular weekly nights. Work in Herefordshire with the flexibility to balance life and night work.
- What the nights are like: tasks can include personal care, moving and handling, checks and observations, medication prompts, re-positioning and companionship. Sleeping nights often need a light-touch, observant approach; waking nights require active support or response capability.
- Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer the independence of self-employment, who know night work and want more control over pay, shifts and clients. If you’ve worked agency nights and felt you could do better for yourself and your clients, this is built for you.
- Pay and flexibility: Set your own rate — typical roles range £17–£25 per hour — and choose the nights you accept. PrimeCarers provides the platform so you negotiate directly with families while running your own service.
To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care. You remain self-employed: you decide your hours, clients and service area, and set your own hourly rates.

The platform is designed to help experienced carers move away from agency constraints while keeping the support you need to run your own nights service.
