Overnight Carer Jobs in Leyburn

Night-time care in Leyburn is quietly important work: waking or sleeping nights in a person’s own home so families can rest, maintain routines and keep loved ones safe. If you already have experience of providing personal care and companionship through the night, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families across Leyburn and the surrounding North Yorkshire area. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single vacancy. Many carers choose night-only work because it fits family life, study or daytime commitments. You choose the clients, the hours and the area you cover — whether you want waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix. You’ll see £17.70–£22 per hour as a typical range for overnight work, but as a self-employed carer you set your own rate and accept the jobs that suit you.

Typical duties on overnight shifts can include reassurance, prompting medication, personal care if needed, and keeping an eye on someone’s wellbeing. Sleeping nights may involve longer periods of rest with checks at agreed intervals; waking nights require active, hands-on support. Night care suits experienced carers who are calm, observant and comfortable working alone in a client’s home.

PrimeCarers finds matches and looks after the admin so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working through the platform. Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

You’ll most commonly work around Leyburn and nearby towns such as Middleham, Colburn, Masham, Bedale, Hawes and Pateley Bridge — many carers build regular overnight rounds across a small local area. If you’re ready to step away from agency rotas and want more control over who you care for and when, this could be the next step for you. Creating a profile takes minutes and, once verified, can make ongoing overnight opportunities visible to families looking for a reliable, experienced carer.

How to apply: complete your online profile, upload ID and references, and tell us about your overnight experience. We’ll guide you through DBS if you need it and confirm your profile. Many carers are up and running within days and begin taking bookings that suit their life.
