Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Redhill who need overnight support — either waking nights or sleeping nights — so relatives can rest with confidence. These are ongoing roles you can accept on terms that suit you: pick the clients, the hours and the area you cover. Right now, 119 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care on PrimeCarers typically involves supporting people in their own homes through the night. Responsibilities vary: you might be providing regular checks, medication prompts, assistance with toileting or moving, companionship and reassurance, or responding to call-outs during sleeping nights. You’ll work with families who want continuity and someone they can trust for calm, reliable nights in Redhill and nearby areas such as Reigate, Beltchingley, Horley, Old Coulsdon, Coulsdon and Kenley.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency rotas allow. If you’ve got at least one year of professional care experience and strong references, you can set yourself up as self-employed and advertise your availability. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates (typical ranges are £17–£19.70 per hour) and decide whether they offer waking nights or sleeping nights, short nights or longer blocks.

Pay details and examples appear on each profile using the platform’s rate fields: typical hourly care sits around £18.80–£20.70 per hour, while live-in day rates are shown as £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments for the bookings you accept, and provides insurance cover while you are working on a registered booking.

To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Profiles take minutes to create and — once verified — usually go live within days, allowing you to start being contacted for shifts in Redhill, across Surrey and neighbouring towns. You remain fully self-employed: choose the clients you want and the amount of night work you take on.

Interested? Creating a profile takes just a few minutes. If you’re an experienced overnight carer looking to move away from fixed rotas and want more control over your work in Redhill and Surrey, PrimeCarers can help you connect with families who value continuity, experience and compassion.
