Night Care Assistant Jobs in Longtown

Night care in Longtown means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be providing practical support, reassurance and companionship overnight — assisting with personal care, medication prompts, turning and repositioning, and staying alert to needs while allowing the household to sleep. Longtown, Cumbria is a close-knit area and many families value local, experienced carers who know the community.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose the clients you want to work with and decide your service area. You also set your own rates and typically charge within £15–£25 per hour. Many carers choose waking nights, sleeping nights, or a mix to fit family needs and their own lifestyle.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on a booking through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. You can pick jobs in Longtown itself or nearby towns such as Gretna, Smithfield, Carlisle, Langholm, Brampton and Annan, and cover a part of Cumbria that suits you.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t already have an up‑to‑date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We verify references and paperwork so profiles typically go live within days of confirmation.

Working nights through PrimeCarers means flexibility: choose short regular nights, long weekend packages or occasional cover. You retain control over your diary and rates, and you’ll be working directly with families rather than through an agency rota. That makes it easier to build ongoing relationships and predictable patterns of work in Longtown.

• Who it’s for: experienced carers looking to leave agency patterns, want more control and prefer overnight support work in the community.
• Type of shifts: waking nights, sleeping nights or mixed arrangements; you accept bookings that match your availability.
• Support from PrimeCarers: client matching, contracts, invoicing, payments and insurance while on bookings.

Applying takes minutes. Create your profile, upload references and your DBS (or request help), and once verified your profile can go live within days. If you’re based in Longtown and want to take control of your nights and your income while helping local families, join PrimeCarers and start choosing the night work that fits your life.
