Night Care Assistant Jobs in Sheffield

Night-time care in a client’s own home is different work: it’s quieter, deeply practical and enormously valued by families who need to rest. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Sheffield and South Yorkshire for waking or sleeping nights, so you can focus on the person you’re supporting rather than agency admin. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a night care assistant on PrimeCarers you’ll be matched to ongoing, self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and the area you cover. Carers set their own rates and often charge within £17–£19.80 per hour depending on experience and the support needed. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work.

Typical night tasks include checking on mobility and breathing, assisting with toileting and repositioning, administering medication as required (if within your skill set), observing changes and recording notes, and offering reassurance so families can sleep. Some nights are waking shifts with regular checks; others are sleeping nights where you’re on-site and available. These shifts suit carers who prefer longer, continuity-focused work or want concentrated hours that fit around daytime commitments.

This opportunity is best for people with at least one year of professional care experience who value autonomy. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers also requires proof of your experience so families can choose confidently.

We work with carers across Sheffield and nearby towns including Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse, Rotherham, Eckington, Over Woodhouse and Killamarsh. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed at all times, so you control your diary and your service area. Families contact you through the platform and PrimeCarers supports the paperwork and payments, giving you time back for care.

If you’re tired of rigid rotas, want to keep night work that fits your life, and prefer setting your own terms while still getting administrative support, creating a profile is straightforward. Click to apply, upload your documents and references, and we’ll guide you through the short verification steps. Once approved you can start reviewing local night care opportunities in Sheffield and across South Yorkshire.
