Description
Work nights in Radstock supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Overnight care can be waking nights or sleeping nights: you’ll be there to help with personal care, medicines, repositioning, checks and companionship when someone needs you most. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities for local carers across Radstock and the surrounding communities. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Overnight roles suit experienced carers who prefer continuity, calmer hours and the chance to build strong relationships with a small number of clients. You might cover short waking shifts for frequent checks, or sleeping nights where you’re available to respond if needed. All work takes place in a client’s own home, often within Radstock and nearby areas like Norton Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Frome, Bath, Shepton Mallet and Keynsham and across Bath and North East Somerset.
Pay and flexibility are central to how PrimeCarers works. Carers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area to accept. Typical pay for these kinds of nights is £17–£20.20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.
To register you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references from recent care roles

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
