Description
Families in Montrose and across Angus need overnight carers — both waking nights, where you're up and supporting a client through the night, and sleeping nights, where you're on hand if needed. Overnight work suits carers who want steady, predictable bookings that fit around daytime commitments. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Pay: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. For this kind of work, carers in the catchment around Montrose typically charge £15–£25 per hour (hourly care locally runs at £15–£25 per hour, and live-in placements at £140.50–£160 per day). You keep control of your rate — we never set it for you.
How it works: PrimeCarers is an introductory platform, not an agency. We find you clients in Montrose and Brechin, Laurencekirk, Arbroath, Inverbervie, Letham and Forfar, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and insure you while you work — you choose your clients, your hours and your rate.
What you'll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check — we can help you arrange one
- The right to work in the UK
- References we can verify
Apply today: registering takes a few minutes, and most carers are live and applying for jobs in Montrose within days of completing verification.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
