Night Care Assistant Jobs in North Shields

We're looking for experienced carers in North Shields to provide overnight support in people's own homes. Night care with PrimeCarers covers waking nights and sleeping nights — helping a client with personal care, prompting medication, repositioning and companionship so families can rest. You work directly with families, choose the clients you take on, and keep control of your diary. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work suits people who prefer quieter, hands-on shifts and want predictable evenings and mornings. Some nights are active (waking). Others are lighter, safer sleeping nights where you remain available and provide reassurance. You decide which you prefer and which hours you’ll offer across North Shields and nearby areas such as Tynemouth, South Shields, Cullercoats, Willington Quay, Howdon and Whitley Bay. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers across Tyne and Wear and makes it simple to focus on the care rather than the paperwork.

Pay is set by you. Many carers list within the range £17–£17.60 per hour, but you choose what to charge for your experience, qualifications and the services you provide. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can keep your focus on the person in front of you.

This is for experienced, reliable people. To join you’ll 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. If you’ve worked for an agency before but want to run your own service, North Shields has a strong need for overnight carers and PrimeCarers is built to make the switch straightforward.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification your profile usually goes live within days. Once live you can review client requests, message families and accept the nights that suit you. You remain self-employed, set your hours and service area, and choose the clients you want to support across North Shields and the rest of Tyne and Wear.

If you care about doing excellent night-time work, want control over your rates and hours, and prefer a clearer, low-administration route to private clients, PrimeCarers could be the right fit. Get started now — the sign-up only takes a few minutes and many carers are taking bookings within days of verification.
