Description
Overnight carer work in Lydney supports people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest.

Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off shifts. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — many carers in Lydney move to us to get more control and better work-life balance. Typical pay falls in the range £17–£20.50 per hour for overnight care, though you set the exact amount on your profile.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. While you’re working through the platform we include insurance cover. You’ll keep the independence of working for yourself, but with practical support for the admin side of running a care service.
Who this suits:
- Experienced carers who want to leave agency rotas and choose nights that fit family life.
- Reliable, compassionate professionals comfortable working alone in someone’s home during the night.
- Carers based in or willing to travel to Lydney and nearby towns such as Berkeley, Coleford, Cinderford, Thornbury, Dursley and Chepstow.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do ask for evidence of experience when you sign up so profiles can be verified quickly.
Applying takes minutes: you complete a profile, upload documents and references, and we verify everything. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, at which point you can begin choosing clients and nights that suit you.
