Overnight Carer Jobs in Torquay

Night-time care in people’s own homes across Torquay and the surrounding area can be deeply rewarding. As an overnight carer you’ll support clients with waking or sleeping nights so families can rest, offering reassurance, personal care, medication prompts and observations as agreed with the family. You’ll be working locally in Torquay, sometimes across Devon, and often close to the towns you already know.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single role. On PrimeCarers you work for yourself: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Many carers who join after agency work value the control and predictability this brings. Typical rates sit at £17–£25 per hour and you decide what to charge within local guidelines.

Overnight shifts vary. Some are waking nights where you provide active support and personal care; others are sleeping nights where the role is to remain on-site, monitor wellbeing and respond if needed. If you have skills in moving and handling, continence care, or dementia support, those can be put on your profile so families can find the right match. You’ll usually be working in private homes across Torquay and nearby towns such as Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Kingsteignton and Totnes.

PrimeCarers removes much of the admin friction. We find you clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means more time with the person you’re supporting and less time chasing paperwork.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have these, applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This set-up suits experienced carers in Torquay who want reliable night work, flexibility and control over the hours they take. It also works for those who prefer to work close to home and choose which families they support. If you’re ready to move away from agency restrictions but keep essential protections and admin support, PrimeCarers is designed for that step.
