On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you choose your own clients, hours and service area. Many local nights list typical pay around £15–£25 per hour and you’re free to set the rate that reflects your experience. Roles cover the whole of Smithfield and nearby communities such as Longtown, Brampton, Carlisle, Gretna, Langholm and Annan in Cumbria, giving you options close to home.

Overnight care tasks differ by client and may include checking on a person at intervals, helping with medication prompts, supporting mobility, or being present and responsive through the night. Some shifts are waking nights where you’re actively providing care; others are sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available. The work suits experienced carers who value continuity, quiet responsibility and the ability to manage their own time.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients for you and take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
