Overnight care suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts usually allow. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area and set your own rates. Typical pay for overnight work sits within £17–£18.60 per hour, and you can pick whether to take shorter night calls or longer live-in nights. Many carers work nights alongside daytime commitments or prefer regular blocks of night work in and around North Petherton.

The day-to-day is straightforward. Tasks vary by client but commonly include offering safe mobility support, toileting or continence help, administering or prompting medication, gentle personal care and staying alert to emergencies. Some nights are active (waking duties) and some are quiet (sleeping nights where you stay and respond if needed). You decide which kinds of nights you’ll accept.

How pay and admin works: you set your rate per hour or per night and enter it on your profile. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You can list rates in whatever way suits you — many carers use the £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates as a guide — but the final rate is yours to set.
