Overnight care can mean sitting with someone through the night, regularly checking wellbeing, offering reassurance and practical help, or staying as a sleeping carer who responds when needed. These roles are ideal for experienced care workers who prefer night shifts, want to take control of their diary and are ready to move away from agency rota patterns. You set your own fees — typical rates are £15–£25 per hour — and you can decide whether to accept single nights, regular runs or block bookings. We also show typical ranges for different arrangements: £15–£25 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

• Who we’re looking for — People with at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Where you’ll work — In clients’ own homes in Tranent and around Prestonpans, Cockenzie and Port Seton, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Ballencrieff and Haddington in East Lothian.
• Type of work — Waking nights, sleeping nights and associated personal or domestic support during overnight hours. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific role.
