Description
Overnight care in Otley means helping families rest while you provide calm, professional support through waking or sleeping nights in a client's own home. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role — you pick the clients, the hours and the area you cover. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical tasks vary by client but commonly include supporting someone with personal care, medication prompts, repositioning or mobility assistance, light household checks and companionship during the night. Nights in Otley often require a steady, experienced hand: families are looking for carers who can be reliable, discreet and confident working alone in someone’s home.
This work suits experienced carers who prefer the control of self-employment over agency rotas. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates (typical ranges are £17–£18 per hour), choose the nights you want and decide whether you prefer waking or sleeping shifts. For carers who want longer placements or to combine nights with daytime work, live-in day rates can also apply. Typical pay guidance can vary by client and needs: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day are used locally as reference ranges.
PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers in Otley and the surrounding area including Guiseley, Yeadon, Norwood, Baildon, Horsforth and Ilkley by finding clients and handling the paperwork so you can focus on care. We take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
To join you’ll need:
- At least one year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
