Overnight Carer Jobs in Trowbridge

Overnight care in Trowbridge means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll work with individuals who need companionship, help with medication prompts, prompts for toileting, repositioning or reassurance during the night — often in a one-to-one setting. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single role, and they suit experienced carers who want more control over the nights they take on. Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects you directly with families across Trowbridge and nearby towns such as Bradford on Avon, Westbury, Melksham, Bath, Corsham and Frome. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept, decide your service area and pick the hours that fit your life. Many carers who switch from agency work like the ability to shape their week and avoid shift patterns they don’t want.

Typical pay for overnight care varies by client need and whether you are providing waking or sleeping nights — many carers advertise rates around £17–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Who this suits: experienced care workers who have at least one year of professional care experience, are comfortable working independently overnight, and want to be self-employed in Wiltshire. You should be prepared to provide verifiable references, have the right to work in the UK, and hold an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).

Practicalities: applying takes minutes — you complete a profile, upload references and DBS, and choose your availability. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, families can contact you directly and you can accept or decline any assignment that comes in.

What you can expect on a typical night: arriving at a client’s home, settling any immediate needs, maintaining a presence for reassurance and safety during the night, and carrying out agreed support such as checks, repositioning or medication prompts. The exact duties will be agreed with each client before you accept the work.
