Description
Work as an overnight carer in Sheriff Hill, supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These roles suit experienced carers who want more control over who they support and when. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Many carers who move from agency work find they keep the rewarding parts of care while reclaiming flexibility and pay control.
Typical pay for overnight shifts falls in the range £17–£17.60 per hour depending on the client’s needs and whether you’re providing waking nights or sleep-in support. You can also see the breakdowns for hour-by-hour and live-in day work using £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day when you set your profile. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
