Description
Night-time care in a client’s own home is quiet, focused and hugely valued. As an overnight carer in Kingussie you’ll provide waking or sleeping night support so families can rest, stay confident and keep the person they love at home. Work ranges from regular nights to occasional cover, and it’s all chosen by you.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Kingussie and the surrounding area. If you’re an experienced carer thinking about moving away from agency shifts, PrimeCarers gives you more control: set your own hours and rates, choose clients who suit you, and work where you want. Many carers on the platform use overnight work to balance daytime commitments while earning from home nights.
Pay is flexible because carers set their own rates — a typical guide is £15–£25 per hour. You decide whether to take waking nights, sleeping nights with periodic checks, or mixed patterns that suit both you and the client. PrimeCarers matches you with families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not admin.
Who this suits: experienced, compassionate people who want the autonomy of self-employed work but the security of a platform that handles bookings and pay. Nights often need calm observation, practical support with mobility or personal care, medication prompts and clear record-keeping. You’ll work with families who value continuity — a respectful, reliable presence through the night.
Joining is straightforward. Requirements are:
- 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.
Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be free to accept or decline any request, and manage your service area to include Kingussie and nearby towns such as Aviemore, Blair Atholl, Bridge of Tilt, Grantown on Spey, Inverness and Pitlochry. If you want overnight work that fits around your life, keep independence but lose the paperwork, this could be the move for you.
