Night Care Assistant Jobs in Southside

Overnight care roles in Southside for experienced carers who want more control over their work. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities providing waking or sleeping nights in a client's own home so families can rest. You choose the clients, hours and service area while PrimeCarers finds the work and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role involves: supporting people through the night with practical help, prompting medication, re-positioning, reassuring a client and following care plans. Some nights are waking shifts where you’ll be awake and active; others are sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available. Night care in Southside often needs calm, reliable carers who can spot changes and record what matters for day teams and families.

Who this suits: if you’ve worked in care for at least a year and are used to working unsupervised, these roles can replace agency nights while giving you more say over pay, routes and hours. Nights suit carers who value continuity, enjoy one-to-one work and prefer the predictability of home-based care compared with busy domiciliary rounds.

Pay & flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for this role run £17–£17.50 per hour. You choose waking or sleeping nights, the hours you accept and how far you travel. PrimeCarers handles invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.

Requirements to join:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK.
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.

Coverage is centred on Southside but often includes nearby areas such as Bishop Auckland, Crook, Wolsingham, Barnard Castle, Shildon and Tow Law. Many carers choose to cover particular postcodes only, so you keep control over travel and time. PrimeCarers takes care of contracts and payments so you spend more time caring and less time on admin.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. You’ll add your experience, upload checks and references, and PrimeCarers verifies your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests, choose nights that fit your life, and manage bookings directly.

If you’re based in Southside or nearby Durham, have the required experience and want overnight work without agency restrictions, this is a straightforward way to move to self-employed night care while keeping security around contracts and payments.
