Description

Join PrimeCarers as a self-employed night care assistant supporting people in their own homes across Thornton Hill and the surrounding area. You’ll help families sleep easier by providing waking or sleeping nights — checking, supporting and responding as needed so relatives can rest with confidence. You choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you and set your own pay. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care in Thornton Hill ranges from light monitoring and companionship through to hands-on personal care, medication prompting and repositioning. Some nights are quiet and observational; others require active support. Plenty of carers work regular night rounds, ad-hoc cover or block nights — whatever fits your life in North Yorkshire.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency work offers. If you’ve got at least a year of professional care experience, reliable references and the right to work in the UK, you can join as self-employed, advertise your availability and accept the nights you prefer. You set your own terms and can choose to work only in Thornton Hill or extend to Easingwold, Helmsley, Thirsk, Boroughbridge, Haxby and Kirkbymoorside.

Pay and flexibility are core benefits. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typical overnight earnings fall in the range £17–£20 per hour. You decide how many nights to take, what you charge and which clients you’ll support.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, draw up contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working on a booked shift. That means you keep the independence of self-employment without carrying all of the paperwork.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references from recent employers or clients

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. After that you can start reviewing overnight opportunities and accept the ones that suit you.

If you’re already working nights in Thornton Hill, thinking about moving away from agency rotas, or want flexible night work across North Yorkshire, PrimeCarers can help you build a sustainable night-care offering on your terms.
