Overnight Carer Jobs in Oldmeldrum

Overnight care in Oldmeldrum means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and take on the overnight shifts that suit you.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work typically involves:

• Waking nights — active support through the night: personal care, medication prompts, moving and handling, catheters or PEG support where you’re trained, and responding to emergencies.
• Sleeping nights — staying in the home to monitor, provide reassurance, and step in if support is needed while the family rests.
• Practical tasks such as record-keeping, light domestic support related to the client during the night, and liaising with family or health professionals when required.

This work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and quieter hours, and who value working directly with families across Oldmeldrum. If you’re used to agency nights and want more control over who you support and when, this is an option worth exploring.
