Description
Overnight care in Southborough means supporting someone in their own home through the night so families can get the rest they need. You could be providing waking nights—checking, prompting and helping with mobility—or sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available. These roles suit experienced carers who want predictable night work, more control over their shifts and the chance to build longer relationships with clients. Right now, 18 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep control of your diary. Typical rates for overnight roles are £17–£20 per hour. You decide whether you’ll do waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix. Many carers who move from agencies to PrimeCarers find nights fit better with family life or other daytime work and offer steadier, more meaningful hours in the community.
Night work often involves:
- Personal care and medication prompts where needed.
- Repositioning, pressure area checks and assistance with toileting or mobility.
- Observation, companionship and reassurance to reduce anxiety overnight.
