Overnight Carer Jobs in St Ives

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in St Ives and nearby Cornwall communities who need overnight support. Nights can be waking shifts, where you actively support a client, or sleeping shifts where you provide reassurance and respond if needed — the role is to help families rest while their loved one remains at home. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and one-to-one work rather than rota-driven agency nights. You can expect to set your own rates (many carers use £15–£25 per hour as a guide), choose the hours that fit your life and pick clients within the service area you prefer. Unlike agency contracts, you decide which shifts to accept and how you structure your nights.

What the work typically involves

• Providing personal care, medication prompts or observation through the night according to a family’s plan.
• Keeping detailed handovers and communicating clearly with families and other care professionals.
• Supporting safety, mobility and dignity while people remain in their own home.

Who this suits

• Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their hours.
• People used to working overnight and comfortable assessing risk and knowing when to escalate.
• Those ready to manage a self-employed profile but who would like PrimeCarers to find clients and handle contracts.

Practical points & requirements

• You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and at least one year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
• PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

Working with PrimeCarers means you can take on ongoing night work in St Ives and nearby towns such as Hayle, Marazion, Penzance, Newlyn, Camborne and St Just without signing long-term employer contracts. You remain self-employed: you set your hours, select clients and control your diary.
