This work suits experienced, reliable carers who prefer the flexibility of self-employed life. You choose which clients, which hours and the area you cover around Leek, and you set your own rates — typical pay is £17–£17.50 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care without agency middlemen.

Overnight shifts vary: some are waking nights where you’re actively supporting the person, others are sleeping nights with checks and responses if needed. You’ll often work alone in the client’s home and may need to manage medicines administration records, repositioning, mobility support and clear notes for families. Good judgement, punctuality and respectful communication with relatives are essential.

Typical duties might include:

• Regular welfare checks and responding to calls during the night
• Assistance with toileting, repositioning or continence care
• Prompting or administering medication where required and permitted
• Keeping family updated and completing clear handover notes
