Night Care Assistant Jobs in Ripon

Night-time care in Ripon means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be providing companionship, personal support and safe monitoring rather than long daytime personal care tasks; shifts can range from a few hours to full nights depending on the household. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is a role that suits experienced carers who want to keep the one-to-one relationship with a client without agency-imposed rotas. You might be local to Ripon, commuting from nearby Boroughbridge, Masham, Harrogate, Knaresborough, Thirsk or Pateley Bridge — or already working across North Yorkshire and wanting more control over nights. You choose the clients, the hours and the service area, and you set your own hourly rate within the typical range of £17.50–£20 per hour.

Typical overnight duties include:

• Monitoring a client through the night and responding to calls for support.
• Helping with medication prompts, mobilisation and personal care where agreed with the family.
• Maintaining records and communicating with relatives or care coordinators.
• Providing reassurance and companionship during waking nights or being present and available during sleeping nights.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 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. You’ll remain self-employed, so you manage your tax and National Insurance, and you decide which nights to accept. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work through the platform.

Pay and flexibility: you set your own rate and can list an hourly figure within the typical range of £18.80–£22 per hour for shift work or £144–£160 per day for live-in day rates where applicable. Remember that every carer’s earnings vary with hours and client agreements — PrimeCarers provides the system and support so you can build the nights that suit your life.
