Description
Overnight care in Maud means supporting people through waking or sleeping nights in their own homes so families can rest. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients you work with, the hours you take and the area you cover — while we introduce you to local families and handle contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Night work varies: some nights are light, providing reassurance and checks; others are active, assisting with personal care, medication prompts or mobility. Overnight shifts suit experienced carers who are confident working alone, able to assess changing needs and communicate clearly with families. If you live in Maud or the surrounding area — including Ellon, Rosehearty, Clerkhill, Turriff, Fraserburgh and Peterhead — this role lets you work close to home while keeping the flexibility you want.
Pay is set by you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical ranges for overnight care are £15–£25 per hour. For other assignments you can compare the typical hourly and live-in ranges: £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You decide what to charge and which offers to accept.
Joining is aimed at experienced, professional carers who want to move away from fixed rotas and agency-style working. To apply you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one. We also ask for IDs and proof of qualifications during verification.
PrimeCarers makes the admin easier: we introduce you to families, produce the client contract, take care of invoicing and payments, and include insurance cover while you are working on a booked shift. That means you can focus on care, set your hours and build relationships with clients in Maud and across Aberdeenshire without the usual paperwork.
Applying takes minutes online. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you want overnight roles that fit your life in Maud — with control over your work and support on the admin — sign up and start seeing suitable requests from local families.
