Overnight Carer Jobs in Tayport

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from agency shift lists, consider overnight care in Tayport. Overnight care means waking or sleeping nights supporting a client in their own home so families can rest. You’ll be working with people who need reassurance, safe night-time support and a steady, reliable presence — the kind of care that lets relatives sleep easier.

Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you work for yourself: you set your own rates, choose who you support and decide the hours and service area you cover. Typical rates for these roles fall in £17–£17.50 per hour. We bring you client introductions and take care of contracts, invoicing and secure payments, with insurance included while you work.

This way of working suits experienced carers who want more control over their working life. Overnight care is often a mix of sleeping nights with periods of waking checks and occasional hands-on support. It’s ideal for people who are calm at night, organised, and confident managing medication reminders, mobility assistance and straightforward personal care when needed. Many carers find overnight roles offer better continuity with clients and less fragmented travel than day shift rotas.

PrimeCarers works across Tayport and the surrounding area, including Newport on Tay, Woodhaven, Monifieth, Wormit, Leuchars and Carnoustie. You choose which clients to accept and the distance you’ll travel. Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is simple; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you’ll need at least one year of paid professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single placement, so you remain in control of your diary and client choices. If you already work nights for an agency, switching to self-employed work through PrimeCarers can mean clearer pay, predictable invoicing and direct relationships with families.
