Description

Working nights on PrimeCarers suits experienced, reliable carers who want more control over when and where they work. You might already do agency nights and want fewer shifts, or you may prefer to build a small regular night list around family or daytime work. You choose your clients, hours and service area, whether that’s central Nailsea or nearby towns such as Portishead and North Weston, Portishead, Clevedon, Filton, Patchway and Axbridge.
Pay and practicalities: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for overnight support are £17–£21.70 per hour, and many carers set rates within that range depending on the level of care and whether nights are waking or sleeping. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
What an overnight shift might involve:
- Waking nights: active support, personal care, moving and handling, medicines, observations and documentation.
- Sleeping nights: being present in the home, responding to calls, checking at agreed intervals and keeping records.
- Companionship: reassurance, conversation and supporting wellbeing between tasks.
Requirements to join PrimeCarers are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed, so you set your own availability, accept only the nights you want and can decline work without penalty.
PrimeCarers is set up to make the paperwork easy. We introduce you to families, manage contracts and payments, and provide insurance cover for the time you’re working through the platform. You’ll still run your own self-employed practice: choose your hours, set your own hourly rates and decide on live-in or sleep-in arrangements where suitable.
