Nights suit experienced carers who value quiet, focused work and want to be in control of their hours. On PrimeCarers you're self-employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. Many carers in Somerton use the platform to move away from agency rotas while keeping flexibility and continuity of care. Typical pay sits around £17–£19 per hour depending on the role, level of support and whether a night is waking or sleep-in.

What the role involves varies by client. Common tasks include: light personal care, medication prompting, gentle repositioning, observing breathing and wellbeing, maintaining household safety through the night, and clear handovers. You may be awake for the full night, on call, or undertaking a sleep-in. You will only accept the shifts you want; nothing is assigned without your agreement.

Requirements to join: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), and verifiable references. PrimeCarers also provides insurance cover for the time you work through the platform and handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.
