Description
Night-time care in Talgarth is quiet, important work. As an overnight carer on PrimeCarers you’ll support people in their own homes so families can rest — waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix, depending on what each household needs. You’re self-employed, you set your own rates and hours, and you choose which clients you accept.
There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
This kind of role suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency routines and take more control. If you prefer fewer daytime handovers and the chance to build deeper one-to-one relationships overnight, Talgarth is a great area to find work that fits your life. Many carers value the steadier rhythms of nights and the certainty that comes from choosing who they support.
Pay is straightforward: you set your own rates and typical pay sits at £17–£18.30 per hour. For reference, typical ranges are shown as £19.20–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days, but you remain free to set your own figure. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
Requirements to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience;
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this);
- The right to work in the UK;
- Verifiable references.
Applying takes minutes and many carers’ profiles go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active you can specify nights, areas you’ll cover across Talgarth and wider Powys, and the kinds of overnight shifts you prefer.
Work will often be local — Talgarth itself and nearby towns such as Llangors, Hay on Wye, Brecon, Crickhowell, Builth Wells and Brynmawr — so you can keep travel sensible and build a reliable local client list. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single position: you choose the nights you accept and can grow your own book of regular overnight clients.
If you’re ready to keep families sleeping soundly while working on terms that suit you, create a profile today. The process is quick, PrimeCarers supports DBS checks and verification, and many carers are taking their first bookings within days.
