What overnight care looks like: you might provide regular waking nights—active support, personal care, medication prompts—or sleeping nights where you stay in the home and respond if the client needs help. All work is in a client’s own home around Prudhoe and the wider Northumberland area, including Stockfield, Ryton, Blaydon on tyne, Corbridge, Ponteland and Consett. Shifts suit experienced carers who value quieter hours, predictable nights and the chance to build ongoing relationships.

Pay and flexibility: you decide your hourly rate and which shifts to accept. Typical pay sits within £17–£18 per hour depending on the client and the service needed. For reference, typical hourly care ranges and live-in day ranges appear on profiles as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You set your availability, choose clients that suit your skills and geography, and keep the difference between what you charge and your outgoings as self-employed support workers do.

Who this suits: carers with at least a year of professional care experience who are confident working nights, managing medication and responding calmly in the dark. You’ll be a good fit if you’re used to working independently, want to reduce agency-imposed shift changes, and prefer to choose your own clients around Prudhoe. Many carers who join from agency roles say they enjoy the better control over work-life balance and clearer pay per night.

Requirements to join are straightforward: a minimum of 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work.
