Overnight Carer Jobs in Saintfield

Overnight care in Saintfield means helping families sleep better while you deliver compassionate support overnight in someone’s own home. Whether you prefer waking nights or sleeping nights with on-call duties, you’ll be supporting clients across Saintfield and the surrounding area of Down so families can rest.
Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work usually involves companionship, personal care, medication prompts, moving and handling where appropriate, and being alert to changes through the night. Some clients need a waking carer for hands-on support; others need a sleeping-night carer who remains on-site and available. Shifts and exact duties are agreed between you and the family so expectations are clear from the start.

This style of work suits experienced, reliable carers who value continuity and building relationships. If you’ve spent at least a year in professional care and want more control than agency routines allow, this could be a better fit. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for these roles are £17.30–£18.50 per hour and you decide whether to offer waking or sleeping nights, or both. You can also decide to offer daytime live-in work using the platform’s rates as a guide (£145–£161 per day) or hourly care (£18.80–£20 per hour).

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are working. That means less paperwork for you and clear, timely payment for the shifts you do.

Requirements to join:

• 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 roles
