Description
If you already work nights and want more control over who you support and when, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Sleaford. Nights can be waking or sleeping support in a client’s own home — helping someone stay safe, prompting medication, repositioning, or being on-hand so families can rest. You’ll work directly with families and choose the type of night care that suits your skills and life.
Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities across Sleaford and nearby areas such as Dunston, Grantham, Coningsby, North Hykeham, Bracebridge and Boston. You set your own rates and hours — many carers choose to charge within the typical range of £17–£18 per hour, or pick an hourly or live-in day rate that fits the care needed: £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly overnight shifts and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers helps find you clients and manages the contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
This route suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency restrictions. You decide which families to accept, your service area within Lincolnshire and beyond, and you can build a regular rota of nights or work ad hoc. Many carers tell us they appreciate the predictability of chosen clients and the ability to balance daytime commitments.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t post a single shift here — we advertise ongoing opportunities for self-employed carers to connect with families who need night support in Sleaford and the surrounding area.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and we typically verify and make profiles live within days. Once your profile is active, PrimeCarers will introduce suitable families and handle the contracting and payment process — you pick which clients you want to work with and the nights you accept.
If you’re an experienced night carer in Sleaford looking for more autonomy, clearer pay and fewer agency constraints, PrimeCarers is designed to give you that choice and administrative support so you can focus on what matters: good night-time care.
