Description
Night support in New Town Row means helping people stay safe and comfortable through the hours families need to rest. Whether you provide waking nights—active support and observations—or sleeping nights with regular checks, you’ll be helping someone remain at home while giving families peace of mind. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities in New Town Row, arranged through PrimeCarers, not a single posting. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers you work for yourself: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and can accept only the nights that suit you. Typical pay for night care in the area falls around £17–£18 per hour; many carers set rates within the £18.50–£20 per hour range for hourly nights or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you work—so you focus on care, not paperwork.
This kind of overnight work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to leave agency rota pressures behind. Common night duties include regular wellbeing checks, supporting with medication top-ups, repositioning to prevent pressure damage, responding to alarms, record-keeping and quiet companionship. You will make clinical judgements within your experience and know when to escalate concerns to family or health professionals.
Requirements to join are straightforward and aim to keep people safe: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed.
