Night Care Assistant Jobs in Tavistock

If you provide waking or sleeping nights and want more control over your work-life balance in Tavistock, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families who need reliable overnight support. You’ll be self-employed, choose clients and hours, and keep control of how you work. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Night care on PrimeCarers covers both active, waking nights — where you’re providing hands-on support and personal care — and sleeping nights, where you’re on call and able to rest while remaining available. Work might include personal care, repositioning, medication checks, wellbeing checks, companionship and liaising with family. These roles suit experienced carers who value autonomy and want to move away from agency rotas while still having administrative support.

Pay and flexibility are part of the appeal: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and often charge between £18.89–£22 per hour for hourly care or £149.50–£170 per day for live-in day rates, with typical night roles displaying £15–£25 per hour as a guide. You decide which clients to accept, the hours you’ll do and the service area you cover — whether that’s central Tavistock or surrounding parts of Devon. You may cover Tavistock and nearby towns such as Princetown, Callington, Saltash, Launceston, Torpoint and Okehampton.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments. While you are working on shifts arranged through PrimeCarers, insurance is included, so you don’t have to arrange separate cover for each visit. That administrative support lets you focus on care rather than paperwork.

Requirements to join are straightforward and designed for experienced practitioners: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We do not advertise one specific role here; this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities across Tavistock and the surrounding area.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, upload references and DBS details, and complete verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which families can see your listing and enquire directly. If you’re used to agency nights but want more choice and clearer control over your working life in Tavistock, this could be the next step.
