Description
Help families rest easy by providing overnight care in Oakengates and the surrounding area.

We work with experienced carers who want to move away from agency models and take control of their working life. As a PrimeCarers night carer in Oakengates you set your own hours, pick the clients you want and decide how far you’ll travel into Telford and Wrekin. Typical pay falls in the range £17–£17.50 per hour, and you can list the shifts you’re available for — waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix tailored to your life.
Night work is varied. Some nights need active support: turning, medication prompts, moving and personal care, or companionship for someone who wakes often. Other nights are sleeping nights where you stay in the home and are on-call, stepping in if needed. If you have at least one year of professional care experience and know how to manage overnight needs safely, this role will suit you. Many carers from Oakengates and nearby towns such as Telford, Dawley, Shifnal, Madeley, Broseley and Much Wenlock find overnight work fits well around family life or daytime commitments.
PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers. We find you clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re booked with a client. You remain in charge: set your service area, set your rates, and accept only the shifts you choose. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We ask for at least one year of professional care experience so clients get consistent, skilled support.
Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. We’ll support you through the paperwork and offer guidance on setting rates and writing a clear profile so families in Oakengates can find the right overnight carer for their needs.
