Description
Join other experienced carers supporting adults in their own homes overnight across Pitlochry. You can offer waking nights or sleeping nights, helping people remain safe and comfortable so their families can rest. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you choose who you work with, set your own hours and control your service area while PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments with insurance included while you work. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
Overnight work varies: it might be checking regularly through a sleeping night, providing personal care, prompting medication, or being alert and ready during a waking night. This role suits somebody with at least a year of professional care experience who prefers predictability and local work rather than agency shift rotas. Many carers live in and around Pitlochry and serve the wider Perthshire and Kinross area, covering villages and towns such as Bridge of Tilt, Blair Atholl, Aberfeldy, Birnam, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Coupar Angus.
As a self-employed Night Care Assistant you set your own rate and accept the clients and hours that suit you. Typical rates for this kind of work sit around £15–£25 per hour. You choose whether to take short regular nights, longer patterns or occasional cover; PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you spend more time caring and less time chasing invoices. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
What we need from you
- At least 1 year of paid professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent care roles.
