Description
Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed night carer in Newton Stewart and help local families rest easy.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Newton Stewart and the surrounding area.

Night work varies from quiet companionship and observation through to hands-on support for personal care, medication prompts and moving support if you’re trained and comfortable.

You choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you.
PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of the admin side: we handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and we provide insurance while you work on a booking. That means you can focus on care in Newton Stewart and neighbouring towns such as Wigtown, Gatehouse of Fleet, Monreith, Kirkcudbright, Stranraer and Castle Douglas. You'll keep the freedom of being self-employed while getting practical support when you need it.
Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want to move away from agency rota pressure and take more control over nights. You should be comfortable working alone overnight, confident with observational record-keeping, and able to communicate clearly with families. Many carers who come to PrimeCarers have experience in domiciliary or residential settings and are ready to use that experience across Dumfries and Galloway in local homes.
Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it). We verify profiles quickly so your listing can go live within days once checks are complete.
Applying takes minutes: create your profile, add your experience and references, and complete our checks. Once verified you’ll be able to see and choose night bookings that match your preferences.
