Overnight work can be a mix of waking nights—where you’re actively supporting a person through the night—and sleeping nights, where you’re on-site and ready to respond.

Many carers moving away from agency rotas choose overnight roles for the predictability and concentrated pay.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area.

This kind of work suits experienced, confident carers who can manage night-time observations, follow care plans and respond calmly to changes.
