Description

Night-time care in Stoke on Trent helps families sleep while a trusted carer supports someone in their own home. These roles can be waking nights — active support, medication or moving someone — or sleeping nights with occasional checks and reassurance. You’ll work directly with families across Stoke on Trent and nearby areas to provide consistent overnight support that keeps people safe and lets relatives rest.
Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing, self-employed way to work nights rather than one-off shifts. It suits experienced carers who want to move on from agency rotas and choose their own clients, hours and service area. Nights often require calm decision-making, observant care and a steady approach when someone needs reassurance or help with routines. Many carers enjoy the continuity and relationships that overnight work brings in Stoke-on-Trent homes.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose the jobs you take, with typical rates shown as £17–£17.89 per hour. You decide whether to accept waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix. PrimeCarers handles the admin: we find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care and the families you support.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We check everything quickly so your profile can go live within days once verified.

Many carers who switch to PrimeCarers value the control, clearer pay and less travel between short shifts.
