Description

Overnight care in New Oscott means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest.

Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced care professionals who want more control than agency rounds offer. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients you’ll work with, the hours you take and the area you cover. Many carers working nights in New Oscott prefer a mix of waking and sleeping nights or regular ongoing night support so families can rely on familiar faces.

For more detailed comparisons we list £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates so you can decide what works for you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you focus on care, not paperwork.

To join you need 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. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Nights can be quieter but require vigilance, kindness and good judgement.

Many carers appreciate the ability to build long-term night work with the same families, which helps continuity of care and a calmer night for everyone.

Getting started is straightforward: create a profile, verify your documents and references, and begin reviewing client requests. PrimeCarers supports you through agreements, payments and running checks so you can focus on safe, compassionate overnight care in New Oscott.
