Description

Night care in Stonebridge means supporting adults in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These ongoing self‑employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want more control over who they support and when. You’ll work overnight — providing personal care, medication prompts, reassurance, or non‑personal monitoring depending on the client’s needs — while remaining self‑employed and able to set your own hours and service area. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects you directly with families across Stonebridge and the surrounding communities in Oxfordshire. Carers on the platform choose their clients, hours and service area, and set their own rates. Typical rates for night work are £17–£20 per hour. You may find opportunities near Thame, Princes Risborough, Watlington, Aylesbury, Wendover and Cowley as well as across the local area.

What the role involves: overnight shifts can be structured as waking nights, where you remain alert and provide hands‑on care, or as sleeping nights (sleep‑in) where you sleep at the client’s home and respond as needed. Tasks vary by client but commonly include moving and handling support, toileting, repositioning, observations, record keeping and offering companionship to reduce anxiety. You must be confident working independently and communicating clearly with families and our team.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want to leave rota‑led agency work for a more flexible, self‑directed way of working. If you value continuity, deeper relationships with clients and the ability to pick shifts that fit your life, night care through PrimeCarers could be a good fit. Many carers choose overnight roles to make daytime hours free for family, study or other work.

Requirements to join are simple and straightforward: 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. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you are working with a client. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re based in Stonebridge or nearby and want to take charge of your night care work, create a profile and start choosing the clients and hours you want. You’ll stay self‑employed, set your rates and keep control of your diary — while PrimeCarers supports the admin side so you can focus on care.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.

Tax is yours to sort out
