This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and decide whether to take waking or sleeping nights.

What we need from you

Overnight care varies. Waking nights involve active support through the night: personal care, turning or repositioning, medication prompts and being alert to changes. Sleeping nights are where you are on duty and able to sleep but available if the client needs help. In all cases carers keep clear records, work respectfully and communicate with families so everyone feels safe and informed.

If you currently work for an agency and want to try something different, PrimeCarers lets you keep the clinical and relational side of care while taking control of your working life in Milnthorpe and across Cumbria. You remain self-employed, set your own boundaries and choose only the night shifts that suit you.
