Description

Work with families across Silloth and nearby towns to provide overnight care — waking or sleeping nights — so relatives can rest with confidence. These ongoing self-employed opportunities are for experienced carers who want control of their work: you set your rates, choose clients, hours and how far you travel. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work varies. Some families need a waking carer for personal care, medication or repositioning; others want a sleeping carer who is on-site and ready to respond. You’ll be working in clients’ own homes, supporting adults with mobility needs, long-term conditions or age-related support. Shifts are typically overnight only; you pick patterns that suit you.

Pay is flexible and set by you. Typical rates are £17–£22.50 per hour. You can set hourly rates within £19.20–£23.50 per hour or offer live-in day rates from £145–£160 per day depending on the arrangement. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on caring and not admin.

This kind of work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want more autonomy than agency work usually allows. You should have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. If you already cover the Silloth area, or travel into nearby Aspatria, Wigton, Annan, Maryport, Cockermouth and Gretna, you can choose the radius that works for you.

Applying takes minutes. Build a profile, share your experience and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain self-employed: you decide which clients to accept and set the terms that suit you. PrimeCarers makes introductions and supports the paperwork, so you can start taking overnight shifts with clarity and professional backing.

If you’re based in Silloth or elsewhere in Cumbria and want to move away from rota-driven agency nights toward flexible, self-directed overnight care, this platform is designed for you. Create a profile, get verified and begin choosing clients who fit your skills and lifestyle.
