Description
Work overnight in your local area supporting people in their own homes across Mirfield and the surrounding parts of West Yorkshire. These self-employed night care opportunities are focused on waking or sleeping nights, giving families peace of mind while they rest. You’ll choose the clients, hours and area you want to cover, and you set your own pay. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night shifts vary: some clients need a waking night for live support, others need a sleeping night with regular checks and availability. Typical duties include regular wellbeing checks, personal care if required, logging observations, medication prompts and being a calm, reassuring presence through the night. All work takes place in the client’s own home — you won’t be based in a residential setting. Night work suits experienced carers who are confident working independently and who value flexibility over rota-bound agency life.
Pay and flexibility: As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and keep control of your diary — many carers charge around £17–£18.20 per hour for night care. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you are working. You decide which jobs to accept and when to work.
Who we’re looking for: If you have at least one year of professional care experience and the right to work in the UK, you’re already partway there. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), verifiable references and the ability to work safely and professionally on your own. Experience of overnight work, moving and handling, medication prompts and record-keeping is helpful but we welcome confident, experienced carers ready to take more control of their work.
Working through PrimeCarers is a good fit if you’re based in Mirfield and want to cover nearby towns such as Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, Cleckheaton, Batley, Brighouse and Huddersfield. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Because roles are arranged directly with families, there’s more continuity of care and more say over your working patterns than many agency options.
If you’re ready to move to self-employed night care while keeping admin and payments simple, create a PrimeCarers profile today. It’s straightforward to apply, and our team will guide you through DBS and reference checks so you can start choosing the night shifts that suit you and the families you’ll support in Mirfield and beyond.
