Description

Help families sleep easy: support a client in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so relatives can rest. Night work in and around Oxford includes checks, medication prompts, repositioning, companionship and reassurance — done with dignity and calm. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rostering. You decide which nights you take, set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Many carers charge within the range of £17–£22 per hour, but you set the rate that reflects your skills and experience. You’ll be supporting people in Oxford and nearby communities such as Cowley, Abingdon, Woodstock, Didcot, Witney and Bicester across Oxfordshire.

Typical night care duties can include staying awake for regular checks (waking nights), providing safe assistance if a client needs help, undertaking safe moving or repositioning within your competence, managing simple medications where agreed, and offering calm company. Sleeping nights may involve being present and responding as needed while a client rests. We never advertise a single shift here — PrimeCarers connects you with families looking for reliable, regular overnight support.

What PrimeCarers handles: we find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care while we take care of the paperwork and payment flow. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline matches.

What we ask of you:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

If you’ve worked overnight support before, or you’re experienced in personal care and want more control than agency life allows, this could suit you. Many carers appreciate the flexibility of choosing nights around study, family or daytime work, and operating across Oxford and the surrounding towns.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re ready to take more control of your night shifts in Oxfordshire and set your own terms while keeping the back-office support of PrimeCarers, create your profile and start choosing the nights that work for you.
