Overnight Carer Jobs in Uckfield

Overnight carers in Uckfield support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These roles suit experienced, compassionate carers who prefer predictable night work, the autonomy of self-employment and the chance to build ongoing relationships with clients across Uckfield and surrounding towns.

Right now, 17 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work involves: overnight support can mean regular checks, help with medication, reassurance, repositioning, or being awake and responsive through the night. Some shifts are waking nights where you remain alert; others are sleep-in nights where you provide periodic checks. All assignments are with people in private homes across Uckfield and nearby areas including Heathfield, Crowborough, Lewes, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and Hailsham.

Pay & flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and keep full control over which nights they accept. Typical rates for overnight care are £17–£18.60 per hour and you choose the hours and distance you cover. You’re free to prioritise the shifts that suit your life — regular nights, occasional weekends or long-term live-in day work that complements your overnight work.

Who this suits: If you’ve worked in care for at least a year and are used to night routines, you’ll find overnight work rewarding. Many carers who move from agency work choose PrimeCarers for the flexibility, clearer client matches and the ability to build continuity of care in East Sussex towns while keeping control of their time.

Support from PrimeCarers: We introduce you to local families, manage contracts, invoices and payments, and include insurance while you’re working through the platform. You remain self-employed — choosing clients, hours and your service area — while PrimeCarers handles the administration so you can focus on care.

Requirements: To join you 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 and verifiable references. We can advise on completing checks and getting set up as quickly as possible.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you can review local requests in Uckfield and accept the nights that fit your schedule.

How to apply: Create a profile, add your experience and references, and tell us the area and nights you cover. Many carers from Heathfield to Crowborough and Lewes find regular nights through PrimeCarers — if you’re based in Uckfield and ready for more control over your work, this could be the right next step.
