Description

Overnight carer roles in Rothbury suit experienced carers who want to work nights — waking or sleeping — supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. You’ll work as a self‑employed carer, set your own hours, pick the clients you want and choose the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Rothbury and surrounding parts of Northumberland. Typical pay is in the range £15–£25 per hour, and you decide whether to offer waking nights, sleeping nights or a mixture that suits you and the person you support. Many carers who move from agency work like the clearer control over their time, the ability to set a rate that reflects their experience, and the chance to build longer relationships with families.

What overnight work looks like: you might be supporting someone with medication prompts, transfers, personal care, checking equipment or being present through the night so a family member can sleep. You should expect to discuss and agree duties with each family before you accept a booking — you always choose which clients to accept.

To join we ask for:

  • 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
