Description
Overnight care in Portishead means supporting someone at home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These roles suit experienced carers who want to leave agency rotas and take control of their work: you’ll decide the shifts you accept, whether to offer waking or sleeping nights, and how far you’ll travel across Portishead and nearby towns. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers every carer is self-employed and sets their own rates. Typical pay for these roles sits around £17–£21.70 per hour, with more specific ranges for hourly care and live‑in arrangements shown as £18.80–£23.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day where relevant. You choose your clients, hours and service area, so you can focus on night support that fits your life in Portishead and North Somerset.
What the work looks like: you’ll be supporting a person in their own home during the night—this can be active, wakeful support or providing sleeping-night cover where you’re present and available. Tasks often include personal care, medication prompts, mobility help, reassurance and monitoring. You’ll be the consistent overnight presence families rely on so they can get uninterrupted rest.
Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want to work independently but with platform support. You must have the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references. Portishead-based carers, or those willing to work across Portishead and North Weston, Nailsea, Clevedon, Caldicot, Filton and Patchway, are particularly welcome.
PrimeCarers simplifies the admin: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you are working. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed — you set your availability and accept only the overnight bookings that suit you.
How to apply: create a profile, add your experience and references, and follow the short verification steps. We’ll then match you with local families seeking overnight support and introduce you so you can agree terms directly. Many carers in Portishead find the combination of predictable night work and flexible control makes it easier to balance life and work.
If you’re an experienced night carer ready to work on your own terms in Portishead and across North Somerset, join PrimeCarers and take the next step towards flexible, supported self-employment.
