Description

Looking for overnight care work in Perth that fits your life and experience? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families across Perth, Perthshire and Kinross so you can provide waking or sleeping-night support in a client's own home. You choose who you work for, the hours you accept and where you travel in and around the city and nearby towns such as Scone, Bridge of Earn, Auchtermuchty, Auchterarder, Coupar Angus and Birnam. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care on PrimeCarers can mean sitting through the night to support a client with mobility, medication prompts or reassurance, or doing lighter "sleeping" nights while remaining available if needed. The role suits experienced carers who are comfortable working alone, making sound judgements at night, and supporting families who need reliable cover so they can rest.

As a self-employed carer on the platform you set your own rates and availability. Typical pay for this kind of work ranges £15–£25 per hour, with hourly and live-in day benchmarks available in your profile (see £15–£25 per hour and £140–£160 per day). PrimeCarers finds clients for you, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

We work with carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You must be comfortable working overnight in a private home and able to travel within your chosen service area across Perth and surrounding Perthshire and Kinross.

Why carers switch from agencies: many want more control over the people they support and the hours they do. On PrimeCarers you pick clients and shifts that suit your life, keep more of what you earn by setting rates, and still get support for contracts and payments from the platform. There are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than single shifts listed here — you build your own diary.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and upload or request help with an Enhanced DBS. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and once you're visible families in Perth and nearby towns can invite you to discuss ongoing overnight support.
