Description

Do nights in Padstow suit you? PrimeCarers connects self-employed night care assistants with families who need waking or sleeping-night support in their own homes, so relatives can rest. Nights can be quiet, focused work — from gentle checks and companionship to supporting personal care or repositioning when needed — all arranged on terms you choose. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments and provides insurance while you work.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Typical night tasks may include:

  • Monitoring and prompting — keeping an eye on breathing, mobility and comfort.
  • Personal care — assisting with toileting, washing or dressing if agreed in the care plan.
  • Medication prompts and repositioning — helping with prescribed routines where required.
  • Companionship and observation — offering reassurance and recording changes.

This work suits experienced carers who prefer autonomy. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical pay for overnight roles falls in £15–£25 per hour depending on experience and shift type. Many carers who move from agency work value the control, clearer invoicing and direct relationships with families across Padstow and nearby towns such as Wadebridge, St Columb Major, Bodmin, Camelford, Lostwithiel and St Austell.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You will need an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it. PrimeCarers also manages client contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and includes insurance cover while you are working with a family.
