Night Care Assistant Jobs in Thatcham

Overnight care in Thatcham means being the steady presence a family needs so they can rest. You’ll work waking or sleeping nights in a client’s own home, providing reassurance, personal care, medication checks and emergency support as agreed with each family. This page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Thatcham and nearby areas — not one specific role. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and run their own nights. On PrimeCarers you are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep control of your diary. Typical pay is around £17–£18.20 per hour and you can set rates that reflect the experience and skills you bring. Many carers in Thatcham and across Berkshire choose to offer either hourly nights (£19–£21.10 per hour) or live‑in day packages (£145.50–£161 per day) depending on the client’s needs.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles the paperwork: contracts, invoicing and payments are managed through the platform, and insurance is included while you work. That means less admin and clearer, prompt payments so you can focus on care. If you cover a patch around Thatcham, you’ll often see work close by in places like Newbury, Tadley, Hungerford, Basingstoke, Reading and Lambourn, making evening travel straightforward.

Who we’re looking for

We ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have night‑time experience supporting people with dementia, long‑term conditions or complex needs, that’s helpful — but the main thing is professional, reliable night care. You remain self‑employed and decide what work you accept.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and tell us about your night‑care experience; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests in Thatcham and the surrounding area, accept the nights that suit you and agree rates directly with families through PrimeCarers.
