Description
Work overnight in Topsham supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. These self‑employed night care opportunities suit experienced carers who prefer predictable nights, honest handovers and the chance to build longer relationships with clients across Topsham and nearby towns. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
What night work involves: waking nights to provide personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, companionship and light household checks; or sleeping nights where you stay in the home and respond if needed. Roles vary — some clients need active support through the night, others need a calm, reliable presence. You’ll be able to choose the sorts of nights you prefer and accept only the clients that fit your skills and availability.
Pay and flexibility: as a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own rates and choose your hours and service area. Typical pay guidance is £17–£20 per hour. You might see shifts listed within £19–£25 per hour for hourly nights or £145–£160 per day for live‑in day care, depending on the support required. PrimeCarers does not promise income levels; your take‑home depends on the rates you set, the hours you accept and how often you work.
Who this suits: if you have at least one year’s professional care experience, can provide verifiable references, and have the right to work in the UK, you could be a great fit. We also require an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. This is ideal for carers moving on from agency life who want more control over who they support, when they work and where within Devon.
PrimeCarers support: we find clients for you, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working on shifts arranged through the platform. You remain self‑employed, choosing clients, hours and the area you cover — whether you want to work mainly in Topsham or travel into Exeter, Exmouth, Dawlish, Budleigh Salterton, Chudleigh and Ottery St Mary.
How to apply: creating a profile takes only minutes. Upload your experience, references and DBS (or ask us to help), and most profiles go live within days of verification. You’ll then be able to browse overnight opportunities, set your rates and start accepting nights that fit your life.
