Description
Overnight care in Southwick means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. Roles are for self-employed carers providing compassionate, reliable support — from regular sleepovers to active night checks — with the flexibility to suit your life and the family’s needs.
Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced carers who value control over where they work and who they support. Many carers join PrimeCarers after agency life to set their own rates and choose their hours. You’re free to accept the nights that fit you and to work across Southwick and the surrounding area, including Shoreham by Sea, Hove, Brighton, Steyning, Worthing and Burgess Hill. Typical pay sits at £17–£18.50 per hour, but as a self-employed carer you set your own rates and can negotiate with each family.
PrimeCarers handles the time-consuming bits so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, take care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: choose your clients, hours and service area, and accept the nights you want.
What we ask to join
- At least one year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this).
- The right to work in the UK.
- Verifiable references from recent roles.

You won’t be taking on a single advertised job here; this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities in the area.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and DBS, and our team will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then families can contact you directly to discuss rates, duties and schedules. Many carers find local work quickly, but exact opportunities depend on demand and the availability you choose.
If you’re ready to keep doing great overnight care, but on your terms, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a quick first step. Work where you want in Southwick and across West Sussex, set fair rates, and keep control of your nights.
