Description
Overnight care in North Berwick means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can finally rest. If you prefer nights — from light-checking and medication prompting to providing reassurance and ensuring safety — you can work directly with local families across North Berwick and the surrounding area.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night work varies: some shifts are waking nights, needing regular checks and personal care; others are sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available. You’ll be asked to support the person’s routine, follow care notes, report changes and be a calm, reliable presence. This is practical, hands-on care delivered in familiar homes across East Lothian and nearby communities.
This type of role suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota pressure. Many of our carers choose to work just nights, or mix nights with shorter day visits. You are self-employed, so you set your own clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for overnight care sit around £15–£25 per hour but you set your own rate on your profile. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work — so you can focus on care, not admin.
To join you’ll need at least one 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 verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You can accept only the shifts that suit you and travel as far as you want — whether that’s within North Berwick or to nearby towns such as Ballencrieff, Haddington, Dunbar, St Monans, Pittenweem and Cockenzie and Port Seton.
There are ongoing, self-employed opportunities rather than single advertised posts. Create a clear profile, choose the nights you want and stay in control of your work-life balance. If you’re experienced, reliable and ready to take charge of your overnight work in North Berwick, registering takes just minutes and could be your next step away from agency constraints.
