Description

Looking for regular overnight care work in Maesteg that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families who need waking or sleeping nights so relatives can rest with confidence. You choose the clients, hours and service area — and set your own rates.

There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Night care shifts can vary: supporting someone through the night, administering medication, assisting with repositioning or personal care, or remaining on hand while they sleep. These roles suit carers with at least a year of professional care experience who prefer the autonomy of self‑employment over agency rotas. Many carers choose nights because they can offer steady hours and a quieter working environment.

Pay is entirely up to you — carers set their own rates and often work within the typical range of £16.89–£18 per hour depending on the client and the support required. You can discuss whether shifts are waking nights or sleeping nights and agree arrangements directly with a family. Typical hourly-care and live-in ranges are shown on the platform as £18.50–£20.39 per hour and £145–£160 per day to help you decide.

PrimeCarers supports self‑employed carers by finding families, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work. That means you focus on care, not admin. If you’re based in Maesteg or cover nearby areas such as Port Talbot, Neath, Porthcawl, Porth, Aberdare and Llantrisant, you’ll find opportunities across Bridgend and neighbouring towns.

To join you’ll need: 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 also ask for clear communication and a professional approach to overnight duties. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control over the hours you work, the families you support and the rates you charge, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. Create a profile, upload your checks and references, and choose the night care roles that suit you. Maesteg families need reliable night care — if you’re ready to offer that, this could be the right move.
