Description

Overnight care in Ollerton means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These ongoing self‑employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control over their hours and the clients they accept. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a PrimeCarers carer you choose who you work with, the area you cover and your hours. You set your rates and can expect typical ranges of £17–£20 per hour for overnight work. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.

This kind of work is often a mix of hands‑on personal care, reassurance, medication prompts and responding to needs at night. Roles vary — some nights are mostly sleeping with occasional checks, others require waking night support. If you prefer predictable nights and want to build stable relationships with families in and around Ollerton and nearby locations such as Ollerton and Boughton, Warsop, Shirebrook, Mansfield, Worksop and East Retford, these opportunities can fit a quieter rhythm of life in Nottinghamshire.

Who this suits:

  • Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care work who want to move away from agency rota pressures.
  • Carers who value flexibility — choosing clients, shifts and the service area around Ollerton to suit home life or other commitments.
  • People comfortable working alone overnight, making safe decisions and communicating clearly with families and the PrimeCarers team.

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. Because carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed, you set your own terms and control how many nights you take on.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. PrimeCarers supports the admin side so you can focus on care: we match you with families, manage contracts and invoicing, and ensure insurance is in place while you work. If you’re ready to take control of your overnight work in Ollerton, creating a profile is the first step.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.

Tax is yours to sort out

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
