Description
If you work nights and want more control over who you support, PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed night carers with families across Queenborough. You can offer waking or sleeping nights in someone’s own home, helping families rest while you provide safe, respectful support. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night work here in Queenborough, Kent typically includes supporting people with medication prompts, moving or repositioning, personal care, observation and compassionate companionship through the night. Some nights are active waking shifts; others are sleeping nights with planned checks. You’ll visit clients in their own homes, sometimes for single nights and sometimes for ongoing arrangements, and you choose the locations you accept — including the surrounding area such as Sheerness, Sittingbourne, Rainham, Thorpe Bay, Shoeburyness and Southchurch.
On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed, set your own terms and decide how many nights you do. Typical rates for this kind of work are £17–£19.10 per hour, and many carers on the platform display rates within the platform’s typical hourly and live-in ranges (see the profile guidance). PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
- Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who are comfortable working alone overnight and who treat people with dignity.
- Checks we need: an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), verifiable references and the right to work in the UK.
- What we provide: profile listings that match you to families, contract and payment handling, and liability cover while you’re working through PrimeCarers.
- How fast: applying takes minutes and profiles usually go live within days of verification.
