Night Care Assistant Jobs in Stranraer

Looking for night care work in Stranraer that gives you control and respect? As a night care assistant on PrimeCarers you’ll support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You choose the shifts that suit you, set the hours you want, and remain self-employed while we find the people who need your skills. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This role suits experienced carers who value autonomy and continuity of care. Many carers who move away from agency rosters prefer nights because they can build trusting relationships, manage their own time and avoid unpredictable travel during the day. Work is available across Stranraer and nearby towns such as Newton Stewart, Monreith, Wigtown, Donaghadee, Gatehouse of Fleet and Maybole, and across Dumfries and Galloway more broadly.

Pay is set by you — typical night rates range from £15–£25 per hour depending on experience and duties. For reference the platform also shows typical hourly and live‑in day figures to help you decide: £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £144–£160 per day for live‑in day rates. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll remain self‑employed: you select your clients, set your own rates and define the service area you’ll accept. If you have specific night skills — medication administration, moving and handling, dementia or palliative experience — these will help you match to suitable families.

Applying takes minutes. Complete a short profile, upload your DBS and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll then see matches and can accept only the nights that suit you. Many carers from Stranraer find this flexibility lets them balance family life, other work or study while still delivering consistent, high‑quality night support to people who prefer to stay at home.
