Night Care Assistant Jobs in Spennymoor

Overnight care in Spennymoor means supporting someone at home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll provide reassurance, personal care and practical support overnight — staying awake for waking nights or on-call for sleeping nights, depending on the family's needs. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is for experienced carers who want to move away from agency shifts and take direct control of their work in Spennymoor and the surrounding Durham area. You choose which clients you work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. If you want predictable nights, more autonomy and better work–life balance, these ongoing self-employed opportunities could suit you.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands: carers set their own rates and many Night Care Assistants list rates within £17–£18.10 per hour. You can offer hourly nights or live-in day support as needed, using £18.80–£20 per hour for night shifts or £145–£160 per day for live-in days when relevant. PrimeCarers connects you with families, but you remain self-employed and free to accept or decline work.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify your documents and references so families can book with confidence. You can cover Spennymoor and nearby towns such as Ferryhill, Bishop Auckland, Greater Willington, Shildon, Newton Aycliffe and Sedgefield.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific role — create a profile to start seeing matches and pick the night work that fits you.
