Overnight Carer Jobs in Lancaster

Overnight care in Lancaster means supporting someone in their own home through the night so families can rest. You might be providing waking nights — hands-on help through the shift — or sleeping nights where you stay at the property and respond when needed. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer the continuity of working with the same person, want control over hours and value being self-employed rather than tied to agency rotas. Lancaster is our base for these opportunities, and many carers also take work across the wider Lancashire area and nearby towns.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work looks like: duties vary by client but typically include personal care, medication prompting, repositioning and companionship, plus clear record-keeping for the family. You’ll work in the client’s home in Lancaster or nearby locations such as Morecambe, Carnforth, Garstang, Wennington, Grange over Sands and Preesall. Shifts can be short-term nights or ongoing overnight support for the same household — you choose what suits you.

Pay and flexibility: PrimeCarers connects you directly with families while you remain self-employed. Carers set their own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area to accept. Typical pay is shown as £17–£22 per hour and you can set your own charge within that market. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Who this suits: experienced, reliable carers who have at least one year of professional care experience and want more control over shifts and earnings than traditional agency work. You’ll need the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references.
