Description

Overnight care in Stonehaven means supporting someone through waking or sleeping nights in their own home so families can rest. You might be helping with personal care, reassurance, medication prompts, moving and handling at night, or simply being a dependable presence until morning. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Stonehaven and nearby areas rather than one specific role. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £16–£17.50 per hour depending on the care required and whether you’re doing waking nights, sleep-in or supported live-in arrangements. You decide how far into Aberdeenshire you’ll travel — many carers cover Stonehaven and the surrounding towns, including Red Cloak, Portlethen, Inverbervie, Banchory, Laurencekirk and Westhill.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care while we take care of the paperwork. Joining is ideal if you’re experienced, prefer more control than agency shifts allow, and want regular, long-term night work rather than one-off bookings.

Who we’re looking for

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
