Overnight Carer Jobs in Penistone

Overnight carers in Penistone support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest with confidence. Work varies from gentle supervision and checks, supporting personal care, turning and repositioning, to managing medication and responding to alarms — always to the care plan. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

You’ll work locally across Penistone and surrounding areas of South Yorkshire. You choose the nights you take, whether you prefer regular long-term nights, occasional cover or a block of live-in days. Many carers coming from agency roles find sleeping nights or waking nights a better fit for their lifestyle while keeping control of hours and clients.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate and keep full control of your diary. Typical rates for this kind of work are £17–£18 per hour. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Who this suits: experienced, calm carers with at least one year of professional care experience who can work independently overnight. It’s well suited to carers who want quieter shifts, flexibility or to reduce daytime travel. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).

Requirements in brief:

• Experience: 1 year professional care experience minimum
• Checks: Enhanced DBS (we can help), plus references
• Right to work: Valid documentation in the UK
• Insurance: Included while you work through PrimeCarers

Work patterns and pay are decided by you. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are available for reference: £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You pick your clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients, supports contract terms and looks after secure payments.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be matched with families near Penistone and around Stocksbridge, Barnsley, Holmfirth, Hoyland, Dommoc and Wombwell so you can keep travel time low and build regular nights if you wish. Your profile only goes live after we verify references and checks.

If you’re an experienced carer in Penistone looking to move away from agency constraints, this could be a straightforward next step: more control, clearer pay and less admin while still delivering high-quality overnight support in your community.
