Overnight Carer Jobs in Loughborough

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Loughborough and the wider Leicestershire area who need overnight support. You can offer waking nights or sleeping nights in a client’s own home so families can rest, while you keep control of the hours you take and the people you work with. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care looks different for every household. Waking nights involve active monitoring, medication prompts and personal care when required. Sleeping nights typically need a carer to be present and ready to respond, with regular welfare checks and the ability to support if a situation changes. If you’re used to agency life but want more control, nights are a way to increase flexibility and focus on fewer clients while doing work you know well.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £17–£19.20 per hour; many carers list detailed hourly rates so families can see what you expect. You can also indicate availability for shifts that are just nights or for live-in support – use £18.50–£20 per hour for overnight hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates as you prefer.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a booked shift. That means you keep the independence of being self-employed without the admin that typically comes with it.

Many carers making the switch from agency work appreciate the clearer rota, the chance to build long-term relationships and the reduced travel between short shifts. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be matched quickly if there’s demand in your area.
