Night Care Assistant Jobs in Peterhead

Overnight care in Peterhead means helping families rest by providing compassionate waking or sleeping nights in a client’s own home. You’ll support people with personal care, medication prompts, moving and positioning, reassurance, and monitoring through the night — all while allowing relatives to sleep knowing someone experienced is there. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Night work varies: some clients need regular waking checks and support with mobilisation; others need a sleeping-night carer who stays in the house and responds when required. You’ll work one-to-one, in familiar domestic settings across Peterhead and the surrounding area, making continuity and quiet, respectful care a priority.

This is a good fit if you have at least 1 year of professional care experience and want to move away from rota-driven agency life. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to accept, pick your hours and define your service area. Work across Peterhead and other Aberdeenshire towns such as Clerkhill, Boddam, Maud, Ellon, Fraserburgh and Rosehearty if you wish.

Set the terms that suit you: many night roles sit within a typical range of pay depending on client needs and whether nights are waking or sleeping; PrimeCarers lists typical pay as £15–£25 per hour. We handle matching, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re on a booked shift, and PrimeCarers supports the paperwork that comes with being self‑employed.

To join you’ll need:

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

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once we verify you a profile typically goes live within days. You remain self‑employed and free to accept the night assignments that suit your life and availability. PrimeCarers also handles invoicing and payments, so you aren’t chasing fees.
