Description
Night care assistants on PrimeCarers support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be working locally in Ryde and across the Isle of Wight, providing companionship, personal care, medication prompting and reassurance as required — always to agreed care plans. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced carers who want more control. If you’re used to agency nights but want to set your own terms, you can choose which clients to accept, which hours to work and the service area you cover around Ryde. Many carers set their own rates; typical pay sits around £17–£20 per hour depending on the client and the level of support needed.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work through the platform. You keep the freedom of self-employment — you set your rates, decide your availability and manage your diary — while PrimeCarers takes care of the admin side.
Requirements to join are straightforward and practical: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll also need to be comfortable working nights and following agreed care plans, and to communicate clearly with families and the platform.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references and upload any checks you already hold. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and from there you can start seeing local opportunities in Ryde and nearby towns such as Brading, Sandown, Gosport, Southsea, Lee on the Solent and East Cowes. Many carers from Ryde choose to pick shifts only a short distance from home; others cover a wider area across the Isle of Wight.
