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.

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.

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.
