Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Porthcawl and the surrounding area who need overnight support. These ongoing opportunities focus on waking or sleeping nights in someone’s own home so relatives can rest with confidence. You’ll be choosing work that fits your life, not swapping one rota for another.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night care can mean quiet, attentive sleeping nights where you remain available, or waking nights with hands‑on support. You’ll be working alone in someone’s home, providing companionship, personal care, medication prompts and safe responses to needs through the night. Many families near Porthcawl want continuity — the same trusted carer week after week — so this role suits calm, experienced people who prefer long-term relationships over shift-to-shift turnover.
With PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £17–£20 per hour depending on needs and experience. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work, and our admin support keeps things simple so you can focus on care.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do the checks and verification quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be visible to families in Bridgend and Porthcawl very soon.
These roles are ideal for carers leaving agency work who want more control — set rates that reflect your skills, accept only the clients and night patterns you want, and build steady relationships in Porthcawl and nearby towns. You’ll still have the reassurance of contracts, prompt payments and insurance while you’re on a job.
Areas we cover include Porthcawl and nearby locations such as Port Talbot, Maesteg, Llantwit Major, Cowbridge, Neath and Llantrisant. If you value respectful work, clearer admin and the freedom to choose your nights, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward.
How to apply: Create a profile — it takes minutes. We’ll guide you through DBS and reference checks, verify your details, and then your profile goes live so families can find you. There’s no one advertised post here: we’re sharing on‑going opportunities across Porthcawl and the Bridgend area for self-employed night carers.
