Description

Overnight care in Kinross means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. If you already work nights or are thinking of moving away from agency rotas, this is ongoing self-employed work that lets you choose who you support and when you work. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role looks like: you’ll deliver waking or sleeping-night care in people’s homes across Kinross and surrounding parts of Perthshire and Kinross. Shifts vary — from a single overnight to regular weekly nights — and you’ll work directly with families to agree duties, routines and safety needs. Typical pay is flexible: many carers advertise within £17–£18 per hour, with other roles falling inside the ranges £18.80–£25 per hour for hourly care or £142–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

Who this suits: experienced carers who value stability and control. If you’ve done at least a year of professional care, know how to manage common night-time tasks and want to move away from agency constraints, you could be a good fit. Overnight work often suits calm, observant carers who can make someone’s home safe and comfortable until morning.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers (you must meet these before you start):

  • Minimum one year of professional care experience.
  • Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload your documents and references, and choose the areas and night types you’ll accept. You’ll then be matched with families looking for ongoing overnight support in Kinross and the wider Perthshire and Kinross area.
