Description

If you have experience supporting people through the night and want to keep doing that work in Swansea with more control, this is for you. Night care assistants on PrimeCarers support clients in their own homes with waking or sleeping nights so families can sleep safely and carers can plan their time. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care on PrimeCarers suits carers who are confident working alone, skilled in personal care and observing changes in health, and who value predictable, meaningful night shifts. You’ll work as a self-employed carer: choose the clients you accept, set your own hours and decide how far you’ll travel around Swansea and Gorseinon, Lliw Valey, Neath, Port Talbot, Llanelli and Ammanford. Many carers use PrimeCarers to move away from agency rosters while keeping regular night work.

Pay is set by you; most night carers on the platform fall within £16–£18 per hour depending on experience and the client’s needs. You can also compare typical hourly and live‑in ranges when you create your profile using our tools. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a placement, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Typical night duties include supporting personal care and medication prompts, responding to mobility or continence needs, observing and reporting changes, and providing reassurance. Depending on the client, nights may be active waking shifts or sleeping nights with periodic checks — you’ll see the support requirements before you accept any job.

Who we’re looking for

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

If you’ve worked nights before and want to keep that focus while setting your own rates and hours around life in Swansea, this could be a better fit than agency work. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, deals with contracts and payments, and includes insurance while you work — you keep the rewarding hands‑on care and we reduce the admin.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, complete the checks and set your availability; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and accept the nights that suit you. If you’re ready to take more control of your night work in Swansea, start your profile today.
