Description

Overnight care in Southwell means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can finally rest. You’ll be asked to provide reassurance, personal care, medication checks, moving and handling where trained, or simply companionship and monitoring depending on the client’s needs. Nights vary: some clients need a fully waking carer, others a sleeping night with checks. Southwell carers work across the town and surrounding areas, so you can choose local jobs that suit your routine.

Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self‑employed work rather than a one‑off shift. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers in and around Southwell find shifts that fit evenings, weekends and regular overnight blocks. Typical pay falls in the range £17–£19.20 per hour but you decide what to charge. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Overnight care suits experienced carers who value autonomy. If you’re thinking about moving away from agency routines, nights can offer quieter, more predictable work and closer one‑to‑one relationships with families. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience and the right to work in the UK. An Enhanced DBS check is required (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and we ask for verifiable references before your profile goes live. We cover Southwell and nearby towns such as Newark on Trent, Bingham, Arnold, Ollerton, Ollerton and Boughton and Carlton across Nottinghamshire and the borders.

Applying takes minutes; your profile typically goes live within days of verification. While you’re listed, you remain self‑employed and free to accept or decline matches as they come. PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, contract templates and prompt payments so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

How to apply: create a short profile, upload ID and references, and tell us about your night‑time experience. Once verified, we’ll introduce local families looking for waking or sleeping nights and you can choose the ones that fit. If you prefer certain parts of Southwell or specific kinds of night work, add that to your profile and we’ll prioritise suitable matches.

If you’re an experienced carer based in Southwell who wants more control over hours, clients and pay, PrimeCarers could be the change you’re looking for. Get started and be ready to pick up overnight bookings across Southwell and nearby towns within days.
